When you do your nitrAte test, be sure you are reading the full directions. It's different than "water, dropper wait read" You have to shake the bottle #2 for 30 seconds, violently to break up the crystals.
You have to combine water +bottle#1 then add the drops from shaken bottle #2, after you do this, you have to shake the final combination for 60 seconds, wait 5 minutes then read it against the card.
I would put some of that RO waste water in there, but make sure you do a VERY large water change before you add your fish, since the waste water is highly concentrated wastes/yuckiness.

your tank will NOT cycle or show any signs of ammonia without any fish in there (basically your waisting stability as expensive as it is) I used it for 7 days no issues what so ever added fish in the 1st day w/ brand new water YES brand new water. I suggest adding some fish immediately and then start your 7 day process all over again.
You MUST have fish in there creating ammonia in order to feed and grow beneficial bacteria !!! NO ammonia = NO beneficial bacteria.
hope that helps

Ammonia is not exclusive to fish waste, the idea that a tank cannot be cycled without fish is outdated and has been proven wrong so many times. A fishless cycle is cheaper - a bottle of ammonia, enough to cycle dozens of tanks costs less than the fish you would buy to cycle one, easier - no water changes needed untill the cycle is complete and you control the ammonia level from day one, and it does not involve needless stress/injury to any fish, after all, we are fish 'keepers' and supposedly care about the health of our fish.
That's like saying you can't breath without an oxygen mask on.LOPAKA;4851182; said:your tank will NOT cycle or show any signs of ammonia without any fish in there (basically your waisting stability as expensive as it is) I used it for 7 days no issues what so ever added fish in the 1st day w/ brand new water YES brand new water.
