Well, since this is a fish in cycle, I strongly recommend using Seachem Prime to protect the little guys and Amguard for the ammonia. With water quality such an issue, keeping Algone and Purigen as part of your media routine works wonders without the negative effects of Zeolite. Best of luck...

Zeolite is a tricky media that can hurt more than help during a cycle. I am not an expert and this is only my opinion based on years of trial and error. Using Zeolite in a newly cycled tank could quickly starve out young beneficial bacteria. I keep it on hand for nothing short of tank...
