    Nothing really helps with ammonia other than daily water changes until the tank is cycled...I wish there was a quick fix but there isnt...once the tank cycles though, you shouldnt have all the issues you are having now

    Gm camacho! yes using established media will help a ton but you will need the 30% changes every day...the media will speed up the cycle allot tho

    Hi camacho...id up the changes to 30% and just keep up until your ammonia and nitrites are 0..could take a few weeks..its a pain in the butt I know but worth it to save the fish and get the tank cycled...took me 9 weeks with daily 50% water changes in my 75g tank..but I had huge oscars ...good luck !
