that's a pretty fast cycle if you have nitrites and nitrates already; does your local water normally have those in it?

That does sound like a really fast cycle. Test your tap water to see. Did you seed your tank?

Its not a bad thing actually it looks good to me.

Nope. I made a rookie error at the start. And lost all my fish. Havent changed the water since that happen do u think that might be something to do with it.
