If a cuc nuked your tank, guess what? The test kits probably won't be able to test for the nasties it released. They will test for stuff like Ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates, pH, and some trace minerals maybe. But they won't have test kits for the toxic stuff that a cuc releases when it dies.


Also, Ammonia & Nitrites should always be at ZERO before any livestock goes in the tank. Some Nitrates & phosphates are "okay", but not Ammonia & Nitrites.
