hi I'm new to aquariums and unfortunately I didn't know about fishless cycling when I started my tank, and believed the petsmart worker who told me I could add fish just a week after setting up my tank if I used a product called cycle. this clearly wasn't the case, and I now have three platys in a 37 gallon tank that has not been cycled I am doing daily water changes of 40-60% to keep the ammonia levels down, but even with these water changes, the water is cloudy and the ammonia level shoots back up to 2ppm by the end of the day. Is there anything I can do to speed up the cycle or reduce the ammonia in order to save the fish? I've heard of a product called fritz zyme turbo start, does anyone know if that would work?
currently I am using the fluvial aquaclear 50 filter, and an aerator(I'm not sure what kind it is it just produces a wall of bubbles at the back of the tank) nitrates and nitrites are at 0, and ammonia is at between 1 and 2 ppm. the tank has been set up for about a week and a half.
