Personally I would avoid using Stress Coat as it contains aloe vera which will damage the fish's gills over time. I use API Tap Water Conditioner which does not contain aloe vera.
And Tetra Safe Start is a better bacterial starter as it is known to contain the correct species of both bacteria.
It is possible to have zero nitrate in a fully cycled tank, where tap water has zero nitrate and the tank is well planted.
