No Fisheye Effect when zoomed in?
I bought a Fisheye Macro adapter for my Nikon D5000, and unless i'm zoomed out at 18mm, the "ring" and fisheye effect is no longer noticeable above that 18mm.
Should I add another macro filter to see if this changes?

Thanks!
Added (1). Note that I can't afford to spend $900 on a real fisheye lens, thanks for the effort though…
Alternative is buying a real fisheye lens
This is why you should use a real fisheye lens with a DSLR instead of a cheap adapter. You get what you pay for…
The fisheye adapter is really a supplemental diopeter to make your lens a much shorter focal length. The fisheye effect BY DESIGN will be most pronounced at the shortest focal length of your camera lens.

There's nothing wrong with the adapter, this is how they work.
This is why a fisheye lens (a real one) is almost always a prime lens.
Image quality is already taking a hit from the adapter, adding another will just make your pictures look like they were taken through coke bottle lenses.
Well that's the way it's designed. Why would you want a fisheye effect when you're zoomed in?
Alternatively, just add a fisheye effect when you edit.
