When you first added ammonia, it was at 1.5 - 3. Is it less now? The fact that you have SOME nitrites means you are on the way. The fact that you still have ammonia means you are not done yet. Yes you still need to add enough ammonia to get back to 3mg/l every day. Don't add the same amount. Only enough to get bact to 3. Do you get any nitrates? That would be really good.
You need a tank to quarantine. Can you buy everthing you want at one time?
