I honestly don't know.. and your sentences are all run together where they don't make sense to me. All I know though from reading the posts is the ammonia reading is a very bad sign.

Specific gravity, pH, alkalinity, calcium
If your tank is covered in algae, you have a big problem with water quality.
How long have you had it.

025 -.50 isn't high ammonia..I agree the tap water is causing an algae bloom. It also sounds to me like you are overfeeding.
