One doesn't mean the other...... Cycled tanks can lose their bio-capacity for a variety of reasons. The net result is the same. Just consider it a "mini-cycle!" ; )

im not sure what fish you keep but you sould check if the ph is to high or low depending what species you hold...i just adjusted my ph the other day because my species of fish called for it and thats just what they needed.
Allmost all fish will acclimate to the ph that you have in your tap. Some wild caught specimens may have some trouble adjusting but all others will be OK.
Alright guys good news i bought a new test kit. it's the API liquid test comes with 2 bottles of chemicals to test the water.
Anyways the card says 0ppm ammonia is Light yellow. but my reading seem to be Dark yellow. Is this normal? Tested in 3 times now. 8 drops from each bottle in the 5 ml tube.
