I would change out the filter media and your ph is 6? That is quite low. My water here is something like 7.2-75. I think 6 is too low for your fish. Something is defenatly wrong any problems showing up in the other fish?

I've heard of problems with ammo-lock causing a bacterial bloom and crashing a system.

Crap!

Damnit Im gonna have to do another water change and maintenance my eheim....Hopefully that fixes the ammonia and pH problem.

This is very annoying because I did a water change and the ammonia sky rockets and the pH drops???????? Its like WTF!!!!!!!!!

Then I add Ammo-Lock to lock up the bad ammonia and the crap clouds my water and possibly crashes my system?

I hate this so much! I hate the fact that Im trying my best to give them a healthy environment and in return they end up getting messed up water...
