What size tank do you have and how many fish?I havent done a water change since it has been running in December

As for API results, they are well known to produce false readings especially with ammonia and nitrates and i generally recommend getting some water tested at an LFS that does NOT use API kits for testing and see what readings they come up with and to compare with yours. Your readings may be higher than your test show, hence why I state Do NOT raise them .
