Hi all, just a quick question. I added TSS to my tank yesterday along with a betta however my parameters (especially ammonia) seem to be quite high?

My readings this morning were ammonia 1ppm, nitrite 0.5-1ppm (can't really tell on the test), nitrate 10ppm. (My tap water has 5ppm nitrate).

Should I do a water change or wait it out? I've seen a few things saying you should wait about a week before doing any water changes, but I also don't want the betta to get ill due to high ammonia/nitrite/nitrate.
 
You’ll have to do a water change, I’m afraid. Only in fishless cycles can you wait it out.
