I am cycling a 28 gallon, using Prime and just added seeded material on Saturday.

My ammonia has been testing at a .25 today and yesterday. I did a PWC (50%) on Saturday when I added the media. Nitrates are equal to tap water and Nitrites have consistently been 0.

Should I do a water change tonight because Prime works for 48 hrs or wait for ammonia to go to .5?

Thanks
