I agree totally! If ammonia levels are up its probably due to too much food in your tank, or in essence the fish being overfed. The more they eat, the more they poop. Nuff said!

morayeel,
You didn't happy to add your fish immediately upon the setup of the tank, did you? If so, what kind of fish are in there?
