have an external and a custom-made internal filter running.
plenty enough filtration.
but i think because of my exams i havent changed water in a month or so.

if you have more than enough filtration, ammonia shouldnt be a problem. your nitrates, maybe trites would be sky high after a month of no WCs though.
