If you have any Amonia you shouldn't have animals in there.
Water does not cycle the tank it is the mature surface areas that breed
the
bacteria you want in an oxygen rich enviroment like the water column. The
tanks walls, rock, sand etc. is what Cycles not the water. however by
adding
the "used" water from the LFS you are kick starting the process slightly
and
if you bought good live rock you might expierience a small cycle that is
over in a week or so. The presence of amonia at all in your tank makes me
thing you have a ways to go yet.

I do not think he fully understand what cycle tank is. He believe using old
water is cycled tank.

Phosphate: less than .50
Ammonia: too close to zero, no equivalent on chart.
PH: bluer than top of my chart which only goes to 7.6

What are the other water parameter?
So far you indicate Phosate, Ammonia and PH. What about Nitrite / Nitrate /
SG etc... The water will spike up and down until it stable. Your basic water
parameter atleast for these A/N/N should read all zero.
