Also, to go along with what has already been stated, if you left the filter off for awhile while moving that could have killed off alot of bacteria too. And since your tank is still pretty new, you probably didn't have a ton of bacteria in the first place.

Some products like Amquel can cause false readings on ammonia kits.

I suggest you stop using that and check the ammonia daily. If its above 1ppm, do a water change. I think the Amquel could be affecting your readings. Also, check for nitrItes because chances are if there is ammonia, there will be nitrItes.
