Have you ever tested with that test kit before?
I remember once panicking over a so-called ammonia test reading when I was chasing weirdness but over time realized that the particular test kit I used never gave a reading under 0.1 or something.
Do you have a nitrite test kit that you trust? I would test for that rather than ammonia.
Honestly you shouldn't be having an ammonia spike unless something really big died in there. I don't think you have that.
