Ok. I've had the ten gallon up and running for several months now. I just recently started using this site's test log (which is pretty cool, btw) but for the last few weeks, I've noticed that my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels have remained stable, if not at 0. The ammonia has been .25 at every test except today (and that's after almost a week since the last water change rather than two to three days and some of the filter media got pulled to jump start the 55 gallon) where it's .5. Nitrites have been 0 constantly for several weeks, and nitrates at about 20. I am confused....this tank does not appear to be following the usual pattern. My tap water tests at .25 as is--does that have something to do with the ammonia levels never being 0? Other than two to three times a week water changes between 25 and 50 percent, anything else I can/need to do?
