Test Kits

I don't see the point in testing every day, even during a cycling. It's not going to go down or up dramatically in the course of a day. Maybe every 2-3 days I tested my tank and the cycle went fine in about 27 days.

Actually I think you should test every day during a cycle. In fact, I test twice a day during a fishless cycle! Once before adding the ammonia so I know where I was, and once after so I know where I'm at.

And the paramaters actually CAN change dramatically w/i the matter of a day... acutally w/i the matter of hours. When the nitrites start dropping, they drop to zero in a matter of hours (or less).
