not enough info must see the tank pics, those are API readings and could be off 100%
only the ammonia reading of that group above matters for the purposes of tank safety. nitrite doesn't even count at all, and nitrate is an algae issue it wont harm your tank, and also didn't jump that much in one day those are all mis tests via API
the reason we disregard nitrite and nitrate in tank safety threads is because its better to only deal with one misreading category (ammonia) adding two more creates a seemingly out of control situation that rarely is. with a full tank picture and a few points of detail discussed, we can assess ammonia highly accurately using no tests. your other two params do not matter regarding tank safety/emergency. going off the title, im thinking you have those measures from a full running nano
with the full tank shot, we will easily see animals that would be dead if you had that much free ammonia all day all nite long...and rock cycle status we can see too (coralline, pods, worms, crabs snails etc)
i didnt add rock till about 5 days ago i started all this based on info from a fish store so i kinda messed up i put fish in first thing so right now i dont even have any bacteria on rock just on my filter media and gravel so i have to puffers brand new rock and i cycling aquarium kinda
Because tap water can be full of chloramines which are 1/2 ammonia.What is the TDS of your water, are you using RODI or water straight out of the tap?

Depending on the type of kit but Red Sea brand is just as good and they don't skimp on the details.Most keep higher salinity .o24 average
Ideal test kit is salifert per that cycling thread
