It's been almost 3 months fishless cycle and I've decided to add a couple of clownfish. Early on, I added fritz turbo and Ammonium Chloride to the tank- I didn't check the parameters for a week or so and am wondering if my tank has actually cycled? My Nitrates and Ammonia are still well within almost zero range. Mistake to add the Ammonia Chloride? Live sand and dry rock for aquascape. Feedback about going forward would be appreciated. 35g nano tank
 
If ammonia and nitrite stay zero or close to zero you should be ok. I would monitor as now with fish and food you'll have a source of food for the bacteria so adding ammonia shouldn't be necessary
