Do I Have To Recycle My Tank? :(

[NewToFish1989]

Did a gravel change the other day but didn't touch the filter as I assumed most to all bb lived in the filter.

Tested my water today and my ammonia is at 1ppm and haven't had a ammonia spike for over a year now due to it being cycled.

Did a 25% to 30% water change today and still 1ppm of ammonia, so dosed it with prime until another change tomorrow.

Do I have to recycle my tank or is just a mini cycle?

As long as all the media in the filter remained wet in tank water than you're prob just having a mini cycle.. Keep an eye on water levels and wc as needed..
