Sounds like your tank is cycled :) You could add more ammonia (or a source of ammonia like fish food) and watch it all be converted to nitrate again, but the presence of nitrate means you are cycling :D

Haha yeah so far so good! I have a snowflake clown in the tank i decided to go with a live fish to cycle my tank with added bio boosters to keep it safe. So I have a constant ammonia supply and I do regular feedings so the bacteria seem to be doing the trick
