Then you cant add fish until the cycle has ended. Any trace of ammonia and nitrite could be deadly. Once your cycle ends i would recommend you add a clean up crew consisting of snails, hermit crabs, maybe 1 or 2 emerald crabs depending on tank size. Let them do their job for a couple weeks and keep your nitrates under control by doing partial water changes. Then you can start adding fish. Good luck and welcome to the boards!
