Excuse me, but we've already answered that question - hence the lack of response on this. In your other post you were recommended to read my article on New Tanks. In it is an FAQ question about ammonia-locking chemicals and the pros and cons of using them.

Your problem is that your tank isn't cycled. You haven't yet grown the beneficial bacteria that will turn ammonia into nitrite, and nitrite into nitrate. Until that happens anything you add to the tank will be a temporary solution at best and may complicate matters. It may also delay cycling by locking the ammonia away from the bacteria, and will give you false positives on your ammonia readings.
