For the last week I've been having a few issues with my tank. It's had a constant ammonia reading of .25ppm-.50ppm with no nitrite m. I'm not sure where the ammonia is coming from as I don't overfeed and there's no dead plants in the water. I'm wondering if it's because I haven't cleaned the sponge filter in some time. I know many people say to never clean the sponge filter but I'm wondering if it'll get rid of this ammonia issue. I know I'm supposed to clean it in tank water I just worry about cleaning causing more problems. Is it possible that the sponge filter may be causing the issue as I can't think of anything else
