new test reading?????

hi all just a quick question on my new reading as today i shook the heck out of the nitrates test bottle no 2... my readings are .25a(is dropping since started doing daily wc) 0ni 5na my question is as my tank is at beginning of its cycle and i have never seen nitrites yet in any of my readings what stage do u think my cycle is at?

just a recap
im doing 20% wc daily with stress coat (thinking of changing to ammolock would this be ok) on my 50l tank its the beginning of its 4th week i have 4 tiger barbs 1 male dwarf gourami the fish where added slowly to tank over space of 2 weeks i feed once every 2 days.

also i have reduced the amount of aeration in the tank....

Probably the beginning stages. Have you tested the tap water for nitrates?
