i think it cycled so fast you missed the NO2 spike after the ammonia spike and straight to NO3 but with the large tank and large amount of liverock you even missed this spike in the 2 weeks between tests.
as you said the LR was dead so nothing coming from it for ammonia in the cycle so the only ammonia was from pods and the chromis, and there just is too much water for them to create an ammonia spike.
