I have a tank that is about 7 gallons, that I have tried to cycle for more than a month, but every time I tested the water the ammonia was very very high. I've tried changing half the water and tested right after the ammonia was the same. I tested my large tank and tap water for ammonia and it showed nothing(so the tests were not wrong) I emptied the tank and tried starting over, it has been running for a week and the test still shows very high. would anyone know what is wrong with it? The tester I use shows the Higher the ammonia the darker the test water gets and its off the chart

The first time I tried cycling, I used 100% of my large tank's well cycled water(the small tank is suppose to be for hospital
