if your tank has any ammonia reading at all, it needs to be cycled. keep doing WC daily.

ammonia can be a sign your tank is not cycled,

in the process of cycling your nitrites will rise, then finally your nitrate

ok I have been doing WC every week. changing out 15g (tank is 55g)

Check your filter pad and make sure that it is not all packed and full of crap and do at least 55 percent of water changes for the next week but keep a eye on shock to your fish.

do you have any corals or inverts in the tank

Do you have another reefer close by? Take a some of his live rock or used filter pads/socks and seed it with yours. It should help speed up the nitrogen cycle. If you already have animals in there do water changes right away as ammonia can causes crashes very quickly.
