Hey guys so I think my tank is finally cycled everything has dropped to 0 now should I add more of the ammonia from dr tims to 2ppm to see if it will drop to 0 again?

Need more information as having 0 nitrates after cycle is not common.

Did you ever see your parameters go up? If so, you’re cycled.

Including ammonia? If so, then you are good to go.

OK, then you are sufficiently cycled, IMO.
