Stability, Ammonia and cycling question

[Sac Fury]

An ammonia level of .5 will not kill your fish.

The problem will be if it keeps rising due to the tank not being cycled. Best thing to do is transfer the ceramic media, test and keep doing water changes so it doesn't spike any higher.

Update,
still at .5 ammonia, o nitrite and 0 nitrate(day 10). I transfered ceramic media yesterday. I also talked with the people at Seachem. they stated to also dose with Prime which I started. Prime will detox the ammonia... I am feeding every other day very small amount...so far so good. also doing 10% water change every other day.

Okay, i would move my fish back to the old tank, becasue you have no nitrate, which means your tank is probably not cycled. For the process to start and be complete, you should have ammonia which you have, then a bacterial eats the ammonia, turning it into nitirtes which you have, then another type bacterial eats the nitrites and turns it into nitrates, which you don't have. So the end results you should have some nitrates. Having said all that again you tank does not appear to be cycled, but appears to be starting the the cycle process. And since it is not cycled, do not change the water, you need to leave it and find a way to feed the bacterial more along with adding more stability if you trying to do a fishless cycle.

+1 here....your tank is not cycled unless you have had a spike in Ammonia...then Nitrites and finally Nitrates..DO NOT do a WC....only after you have a spike in the Nitrates.....Be patient...
