Help with cycling issue, please

Happy Holidays, Dr. Tim,

I am starting a 180 reef with BRS Reef Saver Rock. I used Reef Crystals salt to a SG of 1.025 and pH of 8.1. I brought the ammonia up to 2 ppm with your Ammonium Chloride product. Then I added your One and Only.

Then I did something silly I had half a bottle of API Stress Zyme left from a nano setup and I said to myself, "let's just add more bacteria" and dumped in a dose that would be half that recommended for my tank.

But then I started Googling and figure out that it is not the same type of bacteria and seems to be a more heterotrophic species that will not contribute to the cycle. I'm wondering if it's more similar to your Waste-Away.

My questions are:

1) Will this stall my cycle? I'm concerned that the Stress Zyme bacteria will outcompete the One and Only bacteria for ammonia and I will get a "false" decrease in ammonia.

2) Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks!
