Also you can try using an ammonia reducer, it sometimes helps but be careful with the dosages.

Yeah it sucks! I've been testing the ammonia every 3 to 4 hours. Right now it's under .25 on a Salifert kit. The water still has a faint murkiness to it, even though I just did another 20 gal water change. I'm running 2 liters of carbon in a BRS dual reactor and changing it every 6 hours or so. I've got an old canister filter I could fill with carbon as well. Or do you think this may be too much?
