I had finished my cycle with readings of ammonia- 0ppm, nitrite- 0ppm and nitrates-10ppm (nirates never went higher than 10ppm)
So then i got told to do a pwc to finish things up, so i did 80% and i also changed my gravel to sand in the process. I took out my filter media and put it in some of the tank water because i was worried it would dry out and cause the bacteria to die.
I put everything back together and i added about 4ppm of ammonia because i am not getting fish yet.
I woke up this morning and ammonia is 1ppm.
My tank used to cycle ammonia from 5ppm to 0ppm within 24 hours.
Do i have to start again?
