So I tested my tank using ammonia and it cycled very quickly.
2 days ago I had a pH spike in my tank and lost a fish, but couldn't find it. Today I lost another. I tested and I had .25 ammonia today for the first time since adding fish again. I used seachem prime. I will do a significant water change tomorrow.
My question is this, how long will it take for the nitrifying bacteria colony to increase in size? I have 0 nitrites and around 20 ppm nitrates.
