Yes, so I went to my LFS and decided to invest in an API Master Test Kit and wow was it worth the 35$. So I was fishless cycling w ammonia and my easystrips always said 3ppm which was about what I wanted. Turns out I had 8+ppm. And I have a huge nitrite spike which is great, hopefully the ammonia will go down as well as nitrite and I'll start to see some nitrate.
