Sorry for the link with the bad information. Here is a VERY GOOD site for saltwater enthusiasts. Click on "info links", then "starting out". You could spend days reading this very informative site.

With a 2.0 ammonia reading you shouldn't have put any animal in the tank. Why are you still getting an ammonia reading at all? I would think your tank should have cycled by now?

Okay, two things: be prepared to do 25% water changes per day while ammonia is high; and, how high did you ever get on a nitatre test?
