Did you do a 25 gal water change at once? Unless you do a large water change all in one shot you aren't going to be able to dillute the ammonia much. If I were you I would start mixing up Some SW and do a 50% water change if possible, making sure to match temp, salt content, and pH to the tank. While you are waiting for your SW to mix you could run as much carbon as possible in your system, it should help.

Just a note, I have heard it is not uncommon for wholesalers to do close to 100% water changes!
