I am in day 11 of my first ever fishless cycle (with my first ever tropical aquarum) every thing seem sto be going to plan, my ammonia I am adding was all gone today after adding enough to bring it up to half my original dose nitrItes through the roof, but my nitrates have gone down ??? from 40ppm to just 5.00ppm and looking at the test tube after 15 mins lower, I am afraid, what is going on is this correct ? I did it all correctly

REALLY SORYY.......did more of a search on line about API test kits, Banging the second bottle on the table while shaking for a minute or two and then testing shows my tank water very deep red 160ppm, tap water between 20-40ppm, guess you really need to bang that bottle 2, thanks
