Plz Help! Ammonia Spike

[asheyna]

How offten should i do water changes untill the ammonia has gone complettly??

How often depends on your readings. You'll have to keep testing as if you were cycling your tank. Then do big water changes to bring the levels down while your bacteria replenish themselves.

I had a similar experience one time. I'd changed from gravel to sand and kicked off a cycle. Was all panicky, but a few water changes later and we were all ok You're on the right track, just keep it up.

That's great news

Yeah those big water changes are annoying, that's why we usually just say go ahead and do 80-90% in one go as it's more effective and saves hauling the buckets!
