where's the ammonia

my koi have been in the new pond for two weeks.. the water has gone from 54 degrees to 58 degrees in that time....the fish bave been eating twice a day...ten koi from 10 inches to 20 inches... i still have 0 ammonia...0 nitrite and i even checked for nitrate and it is of course still 0.....how long should it take to get an ammonia level that will show up in the test ......is it the quantity of water...14000 gallons.. i have backwashed the bead filter twice and drained the vortex barrells twice also...i would guess about 900 gallons of a water change total...450 gallons a week
