i read that tooo much ammonia can stall the cycling process..is this true??
2days ago
my ammonia was 4.0ppm
nitrite 0 ppm
nitrate 0 ppm
today
my ammonia is ABOVE 8.0ppm (OFF THE SCALE!!!!)
nitrite 1ppm
nitrate 0ppm
i'm into week 3!!
does this sound right??
should i do a water change?
i also got some filter media (ALOT OF FILTER MEDIA) from my fish store to seed and jumpstart the cycle.
question: how long does it take for the old filter media to kick in and help the cycle???
because i added it to my filter, and there has been no change in my readings.
