You can't test for ammonia if you have an ammonia-detox bag in your filter. It tricks the test kits. ....looks like its off the charts when actually its the harmless bound ammonia.
 
Well if Ammonia was used to clean out the tank and decorations we'll all look silly.

You just used fresh water to clean everything with, yes?
 
Sharpie....guess I was interested (thinking) that the tank had been previously used for something like amphibs or reptiles. I have known of people trying to use those used tanks for aquariums...most got limited sucess. I remember more than one complaining of a "urine smell". Dangerdoll brings up a good point...if you previously had fish in it, then you are starting from scratch, effectively. Hurricane also has a great point on what was used to clean the tank, you might have some residual cleaning agents involved.
 
sorry..success

is there a spell check on here? :)
 
i just used hot hot fresh water. and a little half capful of bleach, but after i did that i rinsed the tank out like crazy and then i let it sit out in the sun and dry......(was this the right thing to do)....i just used hot fresh water to clean the rocks and fake plants....
