All levels are 0? You should be showing some sort of nitrate in an established system.

Yeah that 0 reading for Nitrate has got me a little concerned as well, I just read some similar problems with people getting 0 Nitrate readings using the API kits. All suggested that you need to shake up the two bottles really good, to the point of banging them on a hard surface then conduct the test. I will do this as soon as I get home and report my readings. Thanks!

Nitrate test conducted after shaking both test bottles very well and got a reading of 5.0, I feel much better now!
