Yo, my dude, same prob here. Switched to Seachem Prime and it's been chill. That stuff locks ammonia up tight.

My tank was sketchy too until I added some live plants. They help suck up ammonia like crazy. Maybe try some anubias or java fern?
Plants do help, but they won't fix the root cause. You still need a cycled filter to handle the bio load.

Exactly. Plants are a bonus, not a solution. Focus on getting the cycle stable first, then add plants if you want.
