How many days has it been? Do you have a heater on it to about 84? I really think it helps.
I've had my ammonia zero out only once since I started (I don't have any seeded media)--my ammonia is between 1.0ppm-2.0ppm. I'm just waiting on my NitrAtes to get high. My NitrItes have been off the charts, my pH is fine & NitrAtes are around 20ppm--climbing sloooooowly. I may do a water change soon since not much activity for a week--which will add some nutrients & replenish buffers. I started May 7th, so I'm on day 37+/- a day or 2.
Good luck!!
