Can you start a tank with a royal gramma? If not give suggestions other than damsels and clownfish if possible.

start with a bottle of fritz and a pinch of food instead, you'll be cycled in 48 hours. no need to bait the whole forum with a fish in cycle, you know they'll freak out
in your current plan, you're wrecking your fish disease preps we can see in the fish disease forum here how that's working out in general

starting the cycle as advised above w fritz coincidentally is directly in line with all stickies in that forum.

Okay,
These are my reading that I have tested every day since 5/25/2021. My tank is 125 gallon I have ran the lights every day for 10 to 12 hours. from what I have read in other forums on here I would say that my tank is cycled but I want to make sure and I do not plan on getting any fish right away at least until the middle of next month. I do or would like to do a water change for I have not done one since starting. I am asking for thoughts and opinions as to whether the tank is cycled based on the graph and the readings? thank you

The ammonia line is all we care about in updated cycling rules.
your ammonia line matches a common cycling chart nearly exactly
including the drop date, did you use bottle bac
also factoring in why I think you’re cycled: all brands of bottle bac tested for cycle rates have tested to work in half this much time.

Yes I used Bio Spira which I had used before in the past when starting a saltwater aquarium. So you say I am cycled?
Thank you so much I appreciate
