How was this tank cycled? If it is cycled properly, you should be seeing some nitrate.

Re: Dwarf Puffer tank setup?
Yes. Please let us know how long the tank has been running. How it was cycled. And make sure to test for nitrite as well. As PP stated the tank should show some nitrate if its cycled.
