OK. Retested the way the instructions say to... I still have only 5 ppm Nitrates. I would've thought the nitrates would be high in the 10 gallon, since I took out the live plants and it's overstocked with all those guppies.
Probably shouldn't count my blessings too soon, I'm sure that if I retest in a couple of days, they'll go up...
