My QT has been doing a fishless cycle for approx 5 weeks, only with crushed food cos I can't find pure ammonia. My pH has always been around 7.6, only a filter and heater in the tank, no decor or substrate.
Today my pH is 8.4, I haven't done any water changes cos its in cycle, do I just leave it and hope it settles or should I change water/get rid of the old flakes?
