Mini Cycle - Argh!

I decided to test my water today for no reason other than I haven't done it in a few weeks. Well it looks as though my 29 gallon tank decided to go through a mini cycle!!

My readings are:
ammonia: 0.5
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 10

It looks like I am going to be water changing my butt off for the next few days! Argh! Argh!

Could it just be that you've more a bit of excess decomp going on? Try a good gravel vac and see if that helps take care of it.

Good idea, I will vaccuum the gravel AND do a water change.

No prob. Usually if I've been lax on the gravel vac's I'll get a bit of an ammonia spike,
