Sounds like you are still cycling if you still have any trite and ammonia. This is the crucial time so dont freak if you have high nitrate. You are also going to have algae during this part and probably after cycle completes. It is called the ugly phase for a reason lol. Just remember, any ammonia and nitrite can be bad for inhabitants so try to shoot for 0 and 0 for those. Take it from someone who lost their first 3 fish to ammonia the first time I setup a tank(not this one luckily)
