Losing friends-walk me through this

Started tank 1/17/2016 (I'm aware how new)
Tank specs:
-29L from petco
-penguin power filter model 150
-Fluval aquasky led
-bubble wand
-koralia power head
-30lbs cured live rock
-2 bags petco sand

Inhabitants:
3 firefish- minus 1 found dead today (1/31/2016)
Lost arrow crab- looked like he died eating dead firefish
-2 hermit crabs (1/24/2016)
-snail (1/24/2016)
-shrimp (1/31/2016)
-blenny (2/7/2016)
-banggai Cardinal 3 (2/7/2016)

Feeding:
Pellets from lfs couple times a day up until yesterday. They didn't really touch them and so I did notice food on the bottom. Yesterday I picked up mysis shrimp and watched them go nuts for it.

Water:
From lfs ro/di


So here's the deal...I use the api test kit. I noticed on Sunday that my ammonia had spiked to 1.0 ppm. Up until this time with each addition my levels had remained completely stable. I did a 20% water change. Tested my water levels again yesterday and ammonia was .5 and everything else was still fine. I did another 20% water change. Today I tested again and my ammonia levels are 1.0ppm pH 8.2(holds steady here), Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0

Do I do another water change. How do I save my fish? I promise not to add anything else for a long long time :cry:
