*This is an update to a previous post about ammonia removing filter but now I have a new question and thought I should start a new thread*
I'm going to assume those filters prevented a cycle to actually start and I removed the ammonia filter after my goldI passed early this morning.(he had already been so stressed I didnt have the heart to take the ammonia filter out before he died) Doing a water test....still no ammonia (filter has been out for half an hour) do I leave him in till I get an ammonia spike or do I take him out and just use shrimp waffers? How much water should I change if any? I did a 15% water change yesterday.
To clarify:
I moved from a 5 gallon to a 20 gallon had only enough time to run 20 gallon with gravel media from old tank for 24 hours before 5 gallon stetes leaking. Had this new tank for 2 weeks
