So I left my house yesterday around noon, and my tank was fine. Everything was stable, water was clear, and fish were happy. I get back home tonight and all my fish were accounted for, but I notice my water is really cloudy. So I break out my test kit. It was reading my ammonia way off the charts. The tube was almost black, but it had a blue tint, not like the green it should be when reading ammonia. I had done a 50+ water change and vacuumed my gravel a the night before I left. Anyways, I did the best thing I know to do and did a ~40% water change and dosed Ammo Lock. After the water change my water is still cloudy, but I think that is in part due to junk off of my filter. The tank is cycled. I had added a pair of kribs two days before that. Basically, what does this reading mean? It can't be that high. Is my test kit messed up? I tried it like 3 times and it was the same every time. I attached a picture of my test results.
