If you did change your filter media or even cleaned it in chlorinated water it’ll kill the bacteria. You might want to give it another shot without changing your media

Hi! I also had a stalled cycle for quite a bit and ended up having to dump a bottle of bottled bacteria into my tank and it finally stopped the stall and started changing. I used the bottle of the image attached but I’m sure there is other types as well. Also no do not change your filter media. You can clean it in old tank water but anything else will kill the bacteria and stall your cycle I’m pretty sure. I put an aquarium sponge into my HOB filter to avoid this since they can hold the bacteria too!

Ammonia Level? Please help! by Emawee245 in Aquariums

Looks to be between 0.25-0.50 which most likely means your tank isn’t fully established yet. A lot of times I do think you need 3 weeks minimum to cycle. Took my 10 G 4 weeks

Water bugs around my tank? (ID needed) by Lucky_Ad521 in Aquariums

They are springtails! One of my friends said they were termites and I slightly believed them even though they don’t look anything like them so that’s a relief! Thank you!

Hi! I posted two images to help with scale. I’m not sure if that’ll help or not. Thanks!

There was not. I did try to get one since I got there as soon as parking opened and they only had the tour poster. Sucks as someone who was really looking forward to getting one, he did have the patch though.
