I realised this evening that the power to my aquarium had been off for 4 hours due to a problem with the extension lead I am using.
It is all running fine now but after testing I realised that the ammonia and nitrate were at 0.50ppm. My 5 tetra seem fine and aren't gasping for air etc... I carried out a 50% water change to bring the levels down and used Seachem Prime when adding the new water.
My concern is that I am going away for a week on Monday and I am hoping that this mini cycle will end. Is there anything else I can do to help? How long will a mini cycle like this last - I am worried that I have killed all of the bacteria in the filter.
Thanks in advance.
