Hi, just wanted to start by saying this forum has been a life saver for me and my first axolotl. I really appreciate how easily accessible information is here. So now for my question, I got my first axolotl about a week ago now and I've been working on tank cycling this whole time. When I set up my filter I unknowingly used ammo carb with my sponge from a established tank. When I realized my mistake I took the ammo carb out and put a sponge from another established tank back in the filter. I also rinsed the old filter media from my established tank in the new tank. I tested the water this morning and everything is still reading zero. I'm worried that traces of ammo carb are still in the tank the 0 readings are confusing to me. Is all my BB going to starve again because of that? I don't think I can tank any more media out of my larger tanks as I don't want to put them through a cycle. Also through out all of this my baby axolotl is hanging out in a nice container that I do 100% daily water changes to. Any advice is welcome, thank you for reading 
Ps. I also wanted to add the new tank I'm trying to cycle is a 20 gallon long and all of the filter media is from larger tanks (40 US gallon and 90 US gallon) that have been going strong for years now with cichlids in them.
