You'll need to do daily water changes if your tank is not cycled.

But won't that prevent the tank from becoming cycled? I am going to get seachem safe tomorrow.

The ammonia will still be there, just in small amounts.

I can't do a water change today, but i can tomorrow. I am also going to get seachem safe tomorrow.

No, it will not prevent the tank from cycling. Any amount of ammonia can damage fish gills and shorten their life. Better to do water changes and keep the fish healthier rather than not in hopes of a quicker cycle at the expense of the fish's health.
