Test again on day 7 (testing every 6hrs is unecessary). If anything, you should be getting nitrate readings. If you're not already using a liquid test kit, double check your readings with those (as opposed to the test strips which can be inaccurate). Additionally, check the expiration date of the test kit, they cease to be accurate after a certain point.





In a fair sized tank, it may take a while for nitrates to register (especially in a large tank).
