I just started cycling 2 days ago with fishless cycle(Ammonia) and today I put some old biowheels on the filter and the bio-wheels were not used for months, and were dried out, and today my intrAtes are at 5.0.
What does that mean??? is it bad that i put the old bio-wheels in there?
 
Nope, sometimes, just sometimes, the bacteria will survive being dried out.

What is the ammonia and nitrite reading?

If they are 0, then add enough ammonia to 3ppm and see if it goes away in 24 hours. If after the 24 hours your ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates increased, then the tank cycled.

Lucky you!
