Yes wait, Nitrates on the high side.

That's a good sing, means your bacteria is converting (yes you've got bb yeah!!) your ammonia to nitrite and to nitrates!!! Good

 

[adrianthetwin]

Ok haven't changed the tank yet waiting for this tank to cycle but nitrites and nitrates still high do I keep waiting

Have the nitrites started to fall? Is the ammonia test been 0 for a while?

Posting those 3 test results will give us a better idea of where you're at.
