Well overstocking can cause it, i would get a bigger filter like a fluval 2 but i don't no if the current would be to much, you can turn it down and face it towards the glass to lesson the flow, that would be the answer for now a better filter, or buy another fluval one and have one at each end of the tank.

i just tested the water again after a 20% water change and the ammonia is tad darker than the lightest indicator (just by a fraction) lowest is 0ppm next is 0.25

Dad said to me he tested it three days ago and it was at .50

me all confused now!!!

No good testing water after a water change you will get a false reading, best to do the test a couple of hours after a water change, or before you change the water,i would buy another fluval one it will take care of the problem, more filteration.
