can you fill out the emergency template? also, if you can pls try to get a test kit and test it yourself today bc it can change a lot in a few days and also if youre getting it tested at a pet store, it might not be accurate.

sorry about your loss :( to answer your question, no. you should not remove the filter or clean everything in the tank bc the beneficial bacteria lives in surfaces, and by removing the filter/cleaning the tank with soap youre killing that bacteria. the cycling process doesnt stop, ever. the...
