6-10 weeks, let it sit let it cycle. Is usually the norm for a crash. not sure in this case.
weekly 25 percent water changes are a minimum.

Good to hear that your ammonia is down. It was at .5 the other day.

If IPU says that your water is good then I'm assuming they checked nitrate and nitrite and they must be down too.

With all of that death you were bound to have a small mini-cycle.

You had an electric flame scallop as well?
I'm not trying to pick on you but you seem to be ignoring the advice people are giving you.
You need to stop looking at the money part of the problem but as to the livestock that are getting killed unnecessarily.

You should get this book. It's a good read.
