yes and it can hurt your fish. There is some sort of cycle going on in your tank.

Ammonia and Nitrite should be at 0 in any system. Nitrate should should be minimal in any tank with corals. Corals need pristine water conditions which will be hard to do in a nano tank. You're really going to have to be on top of things.
