Ok so my tank has been cycled for 4 months now...water parameters have been spot on ever since, 0..0..5-20ppm...my fish have been in since its been cycled...i noticed my fish had ich and started treating ot with paragaurd 7 days ago..i chose this way to treat because i have 2 sensitive plecos, and scaless fish/plecos are prone to not do well with quicker/stronger meds...anyways i chose this way and is going well...i noticed a bacterial bloom couple days into treatment, which has since dissapated...water still little cloudy but my chemical filtration is removed since it has to be when treating, so im assuming its cause of that...seachem techs even say its normal..well last few days ive done my testing and all readings are 0, which i know there is suppose to be nitrates of some sort...now some say the readings are cause of the paragaurd and to relax and keep the course...others cant seem to figure it out...one thought is, is that prior to me noticing the ich, i did my normal cleaning...50%wc..gravel vac..and pinky filters and folter floss changed...as well as my chemipure and purigen taken out when i caught the ich...i never knew they say to keep the floss and just rinse out in tank water, well i just throw away and put new in, assuming i have plenty bb...idk if maybe since i did all this stuff around same time i messed up my bb and ongoing cycle? But i feel like the filter floss and pinky floss should always be able to be thrown away and fresh floss put back in filter...what could this 0...0...0 reading be? Ill answer any questions to help figure this out, and thanks in advance!
