    Cloudy Water For A Week, Now Ammonia Too, Cannot Get Rid Of, Seems To

    Ok, so at some point, I should see nitrites rise up again? How long do you think it would take for this to start up again? I know you said it should not take as long as the first cycle. Do you think I should take the sponge from my 10 gallon and squeeze some of it into the big tank to help it...

    Cloudy Water For A Week, Now Ammonia Too, Cannot Get Rid Of, Seems To

    Thank you for the welcomes! Yes, I was sure it would not be right to have to change any part of the filter yet, I just wanted to make sure.

    I hate to have to have my first post under the Emergency section, but I guess I need some help asap.
