My 20 gallon long tank has been set up for about 3 weeks and i've been using 10% ammonia. The nitrites went from blue to off the chart to back to light blue so I don't know if it's still off the chart. The ammonia has only dropped to zero once and that was about 2 weeks ago so I dosed it back up to 2ppm and it's not dropping now.
Is there anything that I can do to get the ammonia to drop again?

Test results using my api master test kit are:

Ammonia: 2ppm
Nitrites: 0ppm (Could be off the chart)
PH: 7.6
High Range PH: 7.4
Nitrates 40 ppm

Try changing all or most of the water with dechlorinated water and then add ammonia. if the ammonia or nitrite levels get too high it can stall the cycling process. Doing a huge or complete water change will remove any ammonia and nitrite and you can start dosing ammonia again and see what happens.
