Nitrate 0ppm because.... ??

Hey hey.

Got a question.

I just set up my tank. And I've left it to cycle for hmmm 3 weeks now. The nitrate reading is 0ppm.

I've got the following items in my tank (*because I was over excited)

- 1 naughty and greedy common clown

- 1 turbo snail

- 1 green damsel

- LR

- cheato in my refu

Already dose my bacteria and I'm using sand that I got from Henry in my refu.

Could the reason of my nitrate being 0ppm cause of the cheato?? It went up before I added in the cheato 2 weeks back. Now it's 0.

So does that means I don't need to do a water change??

Cheers..

Use vinegar to bring down. Whats your tank size ? No run biopellets ?
