Don't have the test results here at work with me. They were trace levels, only into the first gradient on amonia. Nitrates were a bit elevated possibly 2nd gradient. Sorry don't know PPM - but low. As I said though this was after the emergency water change and increased aeration so it could have been higher prior. Also don't know if medication effects results.
PH about 8, sg 1.012. Temperature 78 degrees before it happened. I turned the heater up when I thought it might be ich (I added three airstones to increase oxygen to compensate for higher heat and laboured breathing) temperature climbed into 80's but never reached 90. I turned the heater down about 1:00 AM this morning. Temperature is back at 78.
Only thing that could have caused a filter crash was routine matiance and water change 2-3 days previous. Maybe a 20% water change and rinsed half of the filter media in tank water. I'm 98% positive SG was maintained but I'm starting to second guess myself.
