Lost my bioload after medicating for columnaris. 5 community fish in a 15 gallon left.
yesterday i had .5ppm ammonia, zero nitrites and zero nitrates. ran out and bought Fluval biological booster and added last night.
tonight my readings are .5ppm ammonia, zero nitrites and 5.00 nitrates
so....i expected ammonia to go down, nitrites to rise and no change in nirtates until nitrites went down. what gives?
