A few weeks ago I decided to change the substrate in my already established and cycled tank, which I’m guessing is what’s causing what I think is a crash in my cycle. I’ve also changed out my plastic plants for real ones but I wouldn’t have thought that would make a bad impact in anything.
I am doing regular water changes and tests and today my Nitrates are very high along with what looks like 0.25ppm on Ammonia and Nitrite.
I use (and have been for many months) using Tetra NitrateMinus when doing a water change as I believe my tap water is high in the stuff and found that was before helping, but it seems to be doing nothing at the moment to lower them.
Any suggestion on the best thing to do to safely speed it up and get everything back down to zero/really low?
Would it be wise to add some Tetra SafeStart to the tank which did help me originally cycle it last year when it was new?
