Crushed coral in African tank

I think the ammonia level goes up more

That statement was incorrect.

I'm no pH or ammonia/nitrite/nitrate wiz either but I think the statement was made presumably on the subject of nitrate toxicity where the nitraite builds up and becomes more toxic in hard water than soft. Frequent water changes relieve the tank of nitrate buildup and consequently prevents any such toxicity problems.
