Aquarium Advice Addict
I would advise against using chemicals that detoxify ammonia, you are trying to feed your bb, adding stuff like that removes the food source of your nitrogen cycle thereby setting your cycle back. Be patient, if you add two fish in the beginning wait 4 weeks until you consider adding more. Of course it's going to be best to have zeros but as long as you've initially cycled it will be ok, as they won't go very high nor very long. Many new tanks have a mini cycle, do an extra pwc, everything will be ok!
Those products have a use and I use ammolock regularly, but in my quarantine tank. I do not have anything in the tank and won't risk losing my rocks to run the tank. These products allow me to run zeros easily in my qt.
Ultimately it's your tank and your fish, so your decision but I wouldn't put that stuff in my dt
