Another thing I did the day before yesterday, I took the sponges out of the tank and rubbed them on a couple of biowheels until they had some stuff all over them on all sides. And today, still no sign of nitrite and still the same amount of ammonia. Just the rubbings frm the biowheels should start something and should see some signs of nitrite by now, unless the rocks did affect the water chemistry, and killing off the bacteria. And being run on an air pump, the sponge filters are creating plenty of surface aggitation and circulation.
I also took a couple of the media baskets and dipped them in the 10G tanks several times over the last 3 or 4 days. This is starting to make me wonder. Maybe I should set up my Aquaclear powerhead in the tank with the quickfilter attachment, and fill the plastic inside piece with carbon.
Edit:
Flushed both tanks, added new ammonia, and dosed with Stress Zyme.
