My test for ammonia is always .25
Every day of the week, every week of the month, and every single month the tank has been up (minus the initial cycle where is was a bit higher). It's an API test and I'm pretty sure it's defective.

Do you run filter socks? Because mine give off the same smell, but not so much so that it stinks up the house. Could yours be the culprit? The dirty filter socks may be near a vent and thus the smell is getting blown all around the house?

Also, between us ladies, when a woman is pregnant she tends to have a more sensitive sense of smell. Just sayin'. You might want to do a test for that too.
