You are getting great advice from thebiggerthebetter and I don't want to confuse anything.... but if you have any friends with an established fish tank then adding filter media or a cup of substrate from their tank can make the cycling process a lot quicker!

So you need to bring that toxic level below 0.05ppm through water changes. That's like a fin level water change, where the fish are sitting on top of the gravel the water line is just barely above the body.
