Ok, so I'm checking my water parameters this morning and I see that the ammonia has went up to .25! How could this have happenned? I did roughly a 15% water change just last night and another 15% water change like 3 nights before that. My ammonia was at 0ppm both times, I just needed to lower my trates. Right now, the levels are- pH-7.8(in the process of buffering it) Nitrites-0ppm Nitrates-20 ppm and Ammonia-.25 ppm.
I can't ever seem to lower the nitrates, the lowest I've gotten them is 20ppm. I know that some causes of high trates are biowheel filters, over feeding and the water used to do water changes. How should I go about fixing this?
