My guess is that it is cycling. Which means the good bacteria is growing and trying to rid the tank of bad bacteria. I would just wait a few days, the more water changes you make during this stage the longer it takes to build up the bacteria. There is a product that you can buy to help build the bacteria that I have used and liked, but I can not remember what it is called.
