I hate to give bad news but you need to get a liquid drop kit because those test strips are about as accurate as sticking your finger in the tank and guessing . I would use either the API or Tetra kits. I would not feed much and do enough water changes that your ammonia/nitrites just barely regester, you dont want them to get too high b/c they can mame or kill your fish. After a few weeks of this your tank should settle out and you should only see nitrates, at this point you can lay off thw WC's but keep an eye on your fish because there may be some spikes. If you can try to get either some established filter media or somthing to seed your new tank with (decor, substrate) from a healthy tank, doing so will speed up the cycling process.
