Ok so last night I think I screwed up, two days ago my daughter decided she wanted a bubble wall and to move some decorations around. As I was doing this in her tank I stirred up some of the substrate and white flakey stuff(looked like when you peel you skin after a sunburn) started floating all around the tank. I decided yesterday to do a deep gravel vacuum. Vacuumed out about 3 gallons(10%) of murky nastyness from the gravel. Put in 3 gallons of clean water with prime(maybe too much prime)Right afterwards I checked out my carbon filter pad(topfin 30 filter) and it was nasty! So I swapped that with a fresh sponge only filter I got online.
After reading online, it looks like that was a bad idea deep vacuum and filter change on the same day. Do you think I crashed my cycle? I have three goldfish in my 29 gallon tank a tiny tiny black moor a small fantail(I think its a fantail) and a 2 month old common.
I'm at work right now so don't have the tank infront of me to check the chemistry. But what do you think?
