Ya I got the api pond masters kit. That’s all it came with
I apologize, Brittany.
I provided you with the wrong link for a master test kit.
This is the correct link:

Although I'm not sure where the mixup is. The API description for this kit also says that it includes 4 test kits but lists 5 tests. Maybe there are some content changes happening with the manufacturer.
Anyways, thanks for providing the test results.
Can you be more specific about which filter you are using?
Your ammonia level looks about right, given the age of the pond. Zeolite does adsorb ammonia but once you have an established biofilter, beneficial bacteria will be sufficient to proccess it, right through to the nitrate stage so you should have a nitrate measuring kit because nitrate can build up to a point where it will be harmful to your fish.
Keeping good KH and GH levels will ensure that you don't have a large swing in PH which is also harmful to your fish plus gives bacteria the minerals they need to maintain a healthy population.
Adding some floating plants will help reduce nitrate and phosphate plus give your fish protection from sun and predators.
