Interestingly the instructions also say that nitrates rise after the biological filter becomes established. Maybe that means I didnt screw up the cycling!

    That's actually really high, the good news is your tank is cycling ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrate however over 20ppm is very high, toxic. Frogs are especially sensitive to nitrate, try to get it down to the 5ppm to 10ppm range.

    Water changes will lower nitrate. I would do 50% partial water changes daily until it levels out.
