    your test kit is either wrong (you should have it verified)

    or

    you never finished cycling

    or

    you suddenly and greatly raised the livestock (or dead meat (i.e. eel food)). More than the system can handle. It will either catch up or crash depending on how slow you take it.

    How much sand and LR do you have? Do you use a canister filter? Do you use carbon? I agree you should have 0 ammonia
