There was a lot of dead fish and corals. I did a water change and added nitrobac two weeks ago. Included are my parameters. Can I add a fish to speed up cycle?

(most chemicals to jump start a cycle do). If you add a fish, you will be poisoning it and burning its gills - all in the name of a quicker cycle...a poor idea More patience is the best thing you can have right now
