He's right above, you need the time interval, ten days or better before you are cycled, your test readings do not matter currently at all in the process. No matter what you adjust up or down or not adjust, when enough time under water has passed, all you do is change the water out and begin lightly. Couple starter corals and clean up crew, your fish need to complete quarantine before use anyway and this is still more maturation time.
A specific way to cycle your tank based on current details is to just let it circulate as is, dose another few drops of ammonia in a week, and wait another ten days from today to be safe, +10 more days underwater then change it all out and it's done.
Testing or not testing doesn't alter required submersion time, it merely tracks expected peaks and troughs.
The reason some people choose to test and be exacting is to speed up the process. If you've got twenty days, any reef will cycle using the boosts you have. Your bottle bac isn't failed or a bad batch, just do the twenty day trick above
