How many fish in how big a tank ?.\ What is the usual nitrate reading you get ?
Not having nitrate is not a bad thing necessarily, but it might, possibly, mean you have a mini cycle on your hands.
Since you are not seeing nitrites but are seeing minimal nitrates, I don't think you have a mini cycle.
If you have only a few fish or quite a big tank, that might account for low nitrates. Plants also use them as food, so planted tanks tend to have lower nitrates, but just a couple of plants shouldn't use all that much.
