Well, I've had the same experience. Not to worry; the tank should be fine.

I've set up a couple of tanks that never showed ammonia, and one or two that did.

It just depends. What you have to realize is that when you test you water perameters that is only like taking a picture. Right after you test those water perameters there could be a significant spike that goes without being noticed
