Default Patiently waiting

I just added 45lbs of Fiji LR to my 46 gallon tank. I set the tank up about
a week ago, but have been waiting for my LR.

I checked the gravity and before I added it is was .025. I removed some
water to allow the LR to be added and after I rinsed the LR and added I
added freshwater to fill it up. My gravity is now .023 (is this too high?).
My ph was 8.2 and ammonia was between .5 and 1ppm.

I'm going to remove the bio-wheels as soon as I get back upstairs. I think
I have it all set now. There is also a question I have with my skimmer. 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).

I guess I'm just checking to see if anyone thinks I'm doing something wrong.
I was thinking about adding a damsel to help in the cycling of the tank. My
plans are for a nice peaceful tank. Is a damsel maybe not my best option?
Is there another fish to use?

thanks for all of your help
