Water changes per day/week

I just noticed a small spike in ammonia in my tank after already being cycled.

I'm assuming somewhere along the line I had a minI cycle after cleaning parts from my canister filter (in tank water).

In order to get the ammonia back down to near zero, how many water changes can I perform in a week? Can I do 1 per day?

Usually do a 20-25% Water change per week with vacuum.

 

With a minI cycle it is best to do daily changes, if you can get a bottle of Prime declorinator, it will detox any remaining ammonia in the tank for 24hrs between the daily waterchanges.

 

Should I leave the vacuuming to once a week still? Change just the water each day?

 

Yes vacuum once a week and do daily water changes.

 

Yeah just do your normal vacums, no need to do them daily for a minI cycle. Just do the daily water changes until the minI cycle is over.
