Personally I would drop the 24 hour tests and save the reagent, at this stage it`s the 12 hour tests that show where the cycle is at

I would advise checking your pH every 12hrs. If your like me Tom and have poor kH levels then its quite easy to get caught out with a pH crash at this stage of the cycle.

Looking good Tom, fingers crossed for double zero's

errr, how would testing every 12 hours rather than every 24 hours save me reagent?

I`m assuming that at this stage in your cycle you are testing at 12 and 24 hours

OIC, no, I am testing only at 24 hours but did do one 12 hour test out of curiosity. When my nitrites hit 0ppm at 24 hour testing I will start 12 hourly testing.
