I have setup 18 gallon fresh water tank with heater, submersible water filter which is built in with air pump and small stone as gravel
I fill the water tank and crank up my heater to 85 C and I put some ammonia. Next day my friend check the water parameter and ignorantly he added more ammonia but I was not knowing that. After 3 days when I check water for ammonia, I found that ammonia was more than 4 ppm, so I thought that may be because my API Master Test kit is 4 yrs old and expire so it is giving wrong result. So I bought new kit and result was same. So when I discuss this to my friend, I understand what is the issue. So I did 60-70% PWC and make ammonia between 3-4 ppm also added seachem prime to it. It was the 7th day.
Now after PWC it is 12th day but still I could not find any sign of ammonia reduction, It is still at the same level.
So should I wait for some more days or should I do more PWC again.

Okie, I think you can leave it be for now. I believe my ammonia didn't go down until around Day 19. I made some mistakes along the way too.
