Ok I have a quick question. At least I hope it's quick. I'm on day 5 of a fish-in cycle, first tank. Wife went out and got test strips, I went out and got the API liquid kit. I'm doing daily water changes and sometimes back to back. After my last water change last night I'm getting somewhere between 0 and .25 ammo, 0 nitrite, and about 10-20 nitrate. Should I be seeing nitrates this early when I haven't seen any nitrites yet?
