Started cycle on the 7th with dry rock and microbacter xlm and Caribsea live sand. On the 10th I realized I needed an ammonia source so I dropped in some fish food. Tested the tank for the first time and it looks like I have some ammonia, 0 nitrites? And close to 10 nitrates.

I no I shouldn't rush just excited to see change.

Looks like its fully cycled. The nature of ammonia test kits and salt water is that you often will see what appears to be a tiny bit of ammonia. This is due to precipitation. You can test it on new salt water to double check, but having 0 nitrite is pretty much all you need to know (unless you dosed an insane amount of ammonia)
