So I posted Tuesday that Sunday I did a water change and cleaned one of my filter pads and it caused my ammonia to go up.
Today I did a 50% water change.

PH: 7.4
Ammonia .25 down from .50
Nitrite was 0
Nitrate .05

Will do daily 50%-60% water changes till Ammonia is zero.
 
When you say you 'cleaned,' what exactly did you do? If it caused an ammonia spike, I am assuming that you cleaned it in tap water, which would have killed off all of your beneficial bacteria?
