Went to my LFS about 2 weeks ago. Ammonia read 0 pmm. Nitrites read .50 ppm. Nitrates read 0 ppm. My LFS advised to start dosing Seachem Stability. They advised me to do once dose and . let it go a week and currently my readings are:
Ammonia: 1.0 ppm
Nitrite: 1.0 ppm
Nitrate: 10 ppm

Is this normal after dosing or is this something that I should be concerned about?

Looks like since dosing your cycle has started. Have you added an ammonia source to feed the bacteria? If so this is the normal process.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
