maxwellag said:One puffer wasn't eating, was inactive and looked stressed, so I tested the water. Apparently when I cleaned the media yesterday I washed away too much BB. I caused a mini cycle. 2 ppm of ammonia! Yikes! I did a 90% WC and threw in some more established media from my 5g. Hopefully it re-cycles soon!
Wow. That reallllly stinks :/ sorry to hear that. I almost never clean my filters. All the gunk breaks down and I keep my water clean enough that not toooooo much goes in. But unfortunately you didnt have plants yet, right?
