Nitrates are hi

[prthd]

high....not hi, sorry.

just did a water check, and heres the result.

PH 7.6
Nitrites 0
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrates 20

just did a water change yesterday. i did some aquascaping yesterday also, could this be a factor?

You may have kicked up the sandbed during the rescape? It sure looks like you may have kicked off a mini cycle since you are registering ammonia again.

Personally, i would be freaking out because your ammonia is a .25 and is deadly to everything. Water changes ASAP
