HELP!!!!!!!!!

[jjboods]

I was remiss in my testing duties and now I am confused....my 55 Gal FOWLR(for now) tank is 3 weeks old and my ammonia, trites, and trates are all ZERO!!! I do have algae so I am assuming that I have cycled, but isn't 3 weeks kind of early or am I just lucky/good ?
Help?

Three weeks is pretty fast but it could and has happened before. But like JW said before, you might not have actually started a cycle. If you were monitoring it like you should have been, you would have seen the ammonia rise dramatically and then fall back to 0. If this didn't happen, you aren't cycled. I also can't see why your nitrate would be 0.

I had 2 Yellow Tail Damsels, 2 Blue Damsels, and 2 green Chromis in from the beginning...
