So, I got my prime last week. First time ever using it. Numbers good. Ammonia 0, Nitrite, 0 Nitrate 5.0, BEFORE my water change.
This week, I was curious to see where they were at before I changed again. This is what I got. Ammonia .50, Nitrite .25 and Nitrate 5.0. I immediately did a large water change, however why do you think this happened? Do you think I cleaned it "too much" last week? Killing bacteria some how?
Will my cycle come back around? This tank has been up for probably 7 years, so it definately was cycled fully with no new fish or anything in the tank.
Any opinions or suggestions would be great as this Prime stuff is completely new to me.
tHANKS!
