I found this chart here: http/faq.thekrib.com/begin-cycling.html
It shows the critical ammonia level at different pH levels. This would explain why using IAL reduces the need for water changes...
Water Temperature
pH --- 20C (68F) --- 25C (77F)
_________________________________
6.5 --- 15.4 --- 11.1
7.0 --- 5.0 --- 3.6
7.5 --- 1.6 --- 1.2
8.0 --- 0.5 --- 0.4
8.5 --- 0.2 --- 0.1
