Well after a couple 50% water changes I have finally gotten my ammonia level down to 4 ppm. So now the true waiting can begin. Thanks for the help. Also, I think I will wait till I pick up my fish to get a water pump. There is a pretty good aquarium store near me so I will see what products they have.
I agree from what I have observed. I think a littler water pump would be more beneficial in terms of spreading nutrients throughout the tank.
Bigger tanks are easier to keep fish alive in. Harder for maintenance though
