Test your tap. There could be ammonia in that.
If so, then you'll want to make sure you have a conditioner that treats for it.
Testing tanks that have ammonia in the tap water:
1. Test the tap water.
2. Test the tank water.
3. Compare side by side.
4. Make sure the tank water is either at or below the ammonia level of the tap.
5. If not, change some of the water.
6. If it has been a week since your last water change and the ammonia levels is still above 0, then do a water change.
