No the tank was not cycled, it is only been set up for a week to 10 days.

I was told that

A planted tank would never really cycle because of the plants consuming the ammonia etc.......

Since the tank is so new there is nothing to vaccume as of yet.

I just did my first water change, again because tank is so new

I understand that amaquel is not a cure, just wanted to make sure fish/frogs were protected to a point until I am able to get this under control.
