I upgraded my 90 gal to a 120 gal yesterday and this morning I'm getting a 0.50 ppm Ammonia reading? I installed the sump from the 90 gal to the 120 and the pump was turned off for less than 1 hour...

Water was dechlorinated before running the filter on the new tank...

Is this normal because of the higher volume of water or my bb died during the transfer?

I have 5ppm nitrate reading and 0 nitrites but the nitrate might have come from the old tank water I transferred!

The only thing I did not transfer from the old tank was the sandbed...

Any advice?
