Hey guys its me,
I tested my water the other day and ammonia levels had risen, just over 0.25. I preformed a 50% water change and put some ammo lock in. I did the same yesterday as the levels stayed the same, cleaned the filter etc. Checked it an hour ago and it is the same so I have preformed another 50% water change and added more ammo lock.
Is there anything else I can do? I understand that levels around 0.25 can be tolerated but I still want to get rid of them. As this tank has now been set up for approx. 2 and a half weeks is this a normal part of the cycle? Nitrates and nitrites are 0!
Any advice on what to do for Carlos? 

Yeah I was doing a 25% water change nearly everyday for the first week and I then went on to every other day, until I found there was ammonia present and it scared me! Is it not harming Carlos too much then? Will I be ok just doing the 50% water changes every other day?
Thanks scrivens345 

Ohhh I see! Thanks for the information! I've been reading up but its quite complicated!
I will continue to do 50% water changes every other day then!

you could be right there Nossie...I don't use easy balance until my tank is fully cycled, the bacteria need as much food as possible to build an adequate colony.

I am pretty sure that Ammo will slow down the cycle.

Then of course it may be beneficial to the fish, but on the other hand, if it slows down the cycle in the process, he'll have to be stressed about it for longer :/ Anyhow, let us know how it goes

 doing a cycle with the fish in is hard work, but it sounds as if you are on top of it

Sure you will! I introduced a few of my fish to this tank after about 4 days as well and it cycled within ten days

My tank cycled with Lucky in it It took around 3 weeks for me, but I did cheat and used old filter media/gravel for a bit of help.
So my tank didn't really cycle properly (it was a bit weird).
I did cycle the smaller tank with her in it as well (poor fish she's been through so much), I think that one took around 2 - 3 weeks to cycle properly as well.

As long as you keep up with regular tests and water changes, Carlos will be fine

I used water and gravel from the old tank when I set the new one up. I think it really helped leaving it with some slightly dirty water for the first few days for a kick start...

But whateverrrr I hope the cycling will go well from now on!

Every other day should be fine, you need a rise in ammonia to grow the bacteria.

Nah, just take out maybe half the water when you do

What ammonia alert do you have cdale?
I would personally go by what the test kit says.

Also ammonia is harmful to fish, but as long as you stay on top of things, Carlos should be okay.
Once the ammonia goes down, the nitrites will begin to appear, this again is something that is harmful to fish and should be dealt with. I had a horrible nitrite spike in the 21 litre tank and had to resort to doing daily water changes because it was literally off the chart, being well over 5ppm.

So should anything sky rocket like it did with me, do not hesitate to do large water changes daily for a while.
I did daily water changes for a week and eventually the Nitrite went 

Oh and I'd like to mention, he has been fine with the lights for the past week and a bit now, but this morning the light is freaking him out and he's looking distressed!  I have one strange fishy with the whole light issues! 

Well I changed some yesterday? Would I need to do it again? Ammonia levels are still the same, if anything going down slowly!
