I checked the gravity and before I added it is was .025.

I hope it was 1.025 :-)

My ph was 8.2 and ammonia was between .5 and 1ppm.

Normal during cycling.

I'm going to remove the bio-wheels as soon as I get back upstairs.

Good.

I have the Seaclone 100 and always get bubbles in the water if I have it
turned on and what I believed to be set to the correct setting. I read that
it could be caused by the fact that I used a tap water conditioner. My
plans are to no longer used tap water in future water changes. Could my
bubbles be caused by something else? I thought that after a week of running
that the bubbles would have cleared (I didn't have it on the entire time, I
just checked it from time to time).

Increasing foaming could be caused by water additives, "slime coat" etc.
Keep the skimmer running ALL THE TIME... especially if you cycle with
not previously cured rock stright from the shipment. Do not turn it off.

My plans are for a nice peaceful tank.
Is a damsel maybe not my best option?
Is there another fish to use?

God forbid! Damsels are territorial and aggressive... Beautiful fish,
but never use it for cycling if you do not intend to keep it later...
You can cycle the tank with live rock alone - yours has already started
the cycling: you see elevated ammonia. Everything is ok, do not make
a mistake of many beginners and buy a fish which will bully other fishes
later. Many if not most of the damsels bought for cycling tank land in
the toilets because aquarists got them without knowing what fish they are.
