Im new and set up a fish tank 8 days ago for tropical fish. Haven't yet added any plants or fish. Been adding food but still after 8 days no ammonia. Nitrite levels have gone to 0.25 but Nitrate levels have gone to 40. Haven't checked PH levels yet, temp of water is 24c. Added stresszyme the first day of adding water and the 7th day. Also added tapsafe to the water. Havent yet done a water change, what is going on, why are the Nitrates 40? I also filled a bucket of tap water and tested it for Nitrates and that was 40 - can anyone help? Filter and pump are working fine. Thanks
