I have a 20 gal long that's really confusing me. It was cycled with 3 baby platys. After the tank cycled I added my beta with the babies, everyone gets along. But my water has been doing weird things. I have a filter I had in my 10 gal which was cycled several months ago. For a few days the 20 was fine, I did a deep gravel clean with 50-90% water change to bring nitrates down. Now today my water had .50 ammonia .25 nitrite and off the chart nitrates.
The tank it self had cycled before I added my 10 gal filter and I did not take anything out of the 20. It is planted and yes, there were a few dead leaves and I did a big trimming. I also uprooted and moved some of the plants around.
What could be causing this to happen? I have 2 other tanks, 10 & 30 that are doing awesome. I'm really confused and worried, I leave tomorrow afternoon to go back home for 10 days with my husband. It's an 8 hour drive :O
I just did a small water change and will do a 50% in an hr or two and then another bigger, 80-90% tonight to drop everything down. I'm scared it will all rise and be thrown off tomorrow.
