You are either reading/testing incorrectly, because if you had 5ppm nitrates your tank would not be cycled properly.

LOL! There is still room inside my stand for one more fx5! =D the no3 filter is still not fully active, its taking its sweet time, i do notice a little drop in no3... i don't know if the no3 filter has anything to do with that slime growing around the poop, whatever it is, its beyond my fishy understanding...my fish don't seem to mind it...

Sam, I would say, if your water is good then I wouldn't worry! I think it will be ok.

its probably a fungus growing on the poo. You should be cleaning your gravel regularly
