Hello... I'm wondering if somebody could help me please.. so I'm new to keeping fish.. had my tank up and running for 6 months now... I've had a constant problem with ammonia from the start.. sometimes it's high.. sometimes it's low.. think a big part of my problem was I over stocked my tank.. but I did not know at the time as I was told my tank could hold a lot of fish.. but that was wrong advice... but now I know.. so now I have 4 small fish in a 117ltr tank.. 3 days ago my ammonia was at 4ppm... I have been doing 90% water changes every day... my API kit is still showing 0.25ppm ammonia... and I have never ever got it below that reading in the 6 months I've had the tank... I have just read someone's thread on here.. they have had the same problem as me.. never getting it below 0.25ppm.. and someone replied saying that this is a known problem with the API ammonia test kit.. I was just wondering if anyone could confirm this for me.. as I'm constantly doing water changes to get it to 0ppm.. but nothing ever works... it just don't go to 0ppm... would much appreciate some advice on this if any one can help.. thanks in advance
