Seeing as it's summer now how are the temps in your tank? Ammonia and Oxygen levels can alter when the water heats up both in directions that aren't great for the fishes health.

When you get readings like that, which is very possible after moving everything around, a 10% water change isn't going to cut it. I'd do at least a 30g change, and again after a day or two if that didn't settle things down. 10% is really useless to combat this type of thing.

Ya, 10% ain't gonna do anything. After I scaped recently I had a cycle like you and I had to do two 40% changes just to get things back to normal.

as long as you can match the ph and salinity you can do a 40% without it affecting the fish
