So I got the tank Saturday bio cube 32 with 20 pounds of live rock and 30 pounds fiji pink aragonite. Got it setup and the next day I put in a enough frtiz turbo start 900 for 25 gallons sense that’s how much water went in. was testing my water later that day and forgot all about adding ammonia so Monday I got some from the fish store and added a ml. Ammonia was reading .50 so today I woke up added another ml, ammonia’s reading 1.0-2.0 not really a pro at reading the api colors yet sense it’s my first tank but anyways tested my nitrites and there reading .50-1.0, and nitrates are at 5.0-1.0 currently does these test sound about right? Or does it seem like I’m doing something wrong Maybe reading the test wrong? I’m all about Patience that’s not what I’m worried about, I just wanna everything to go good.
Cycling my tank on day 3 just wanna make sure Everything seems right

I have a biocube 32 as well and with 20 gallons of live rock it will cycle quite fast. Mine cycled in like 5-7 days. I added frozen shrimp from Safeway just to speed up the cycling process (added ammonia) and then added 3 green chromis once it was cycled to prepare for clowns and a gramma.
