I did read the article and I do understand what it is saying by regular water changes as that’s what I do for both my tanks I do 30/40% weekly. But with the ammonia being elevated in my one tank, should I then wait to do another larger water change at 40%, do two 25% water changes a few days apart, do two 40% water changes a few days apart, or do you have another suggestion?
First, generally, a major water change of 70-80% of the tank volume should be done as soon as ammonia or nitrite show above zero. Generally. These substances are poisonous to all fish and other living creatures, including some non-nitrifying species of bacteria, so it is important to remove as much as possible as soon as possible. Same holds for high nitrate, if it is above the normal lowest level possible.
Having said that, if the ammonia here is due to the chloramine, that is different. It will obviously appear with any water change, but the nitrifying bacteria (or archaea) or even more any fast growing live plants will remove this ammonia in a matter of hours, or should. Sothis is an aspect of chloramine-treated water.
Aside from the ammonia, I cited my article previously because it explains (at least partly)why regular substantial water changes are necessary, and beneficial to fish health. Doing smaller volume changes is significantly less effective than substantial changes. And doing a substantial change once a week is more effective (for healthy fish) than two or three or even daily small changes.
At the first sign of a problem, many of us do a massive water change. I have had this alone solve some problems. Water chemistry is a complicated subject, but we need to keep in mind that in most every tank the more water we change the healthier the system. There are exceptions to every practice, this is again the norm.
