Hi im currently doing a fish in cycle after something went wrong. Im doing 50% water changes everyday to get nitrites to 0 their about 1.5 now ammonia between 0 and .25 nitrate between 0 and 5 ppm and ph 8.0 ppm and water at 80 f. I was wondering if i should clean my filter sponge in some tank water. I have the fluval c4 and the little tab on the back keeps popping up indicating time for filter change due to water slowing. If i do that though will it increase levels of anything. And should i vacuum the gravel during these water changes. Thank for all your help. Been a couple of years since ive been in the hobby and in a different country too. Oh yeah a my set up is 46 gallon bow front African cichlids
