10ppm nitrate is not all that abnormal for a QT tank. If you are bare bottom with no live rock.

Nitrites are not harmful in marine setup. You will have to have them in hundreds before it can start hurting in a small number.

No kidding i thought they were toxic to all aquatic life huh good to know so i should be by far more worried about ammonia

In a study nitrite levels of 300 wiped 25% population. (I may be off on exact numbers but you get the idea)
Freshwater yes nitrite are killers saltwater not till in very high numbers.
Yes ammonia needs to be absolutely 0
Nitrite of 10 - 20 ppm won't hurt any fish.
