What Nitrates level is this?

Looks between 80 and 160, so I’ll call it 100ish. Water changes will help to bring that down.

All good. How old is your tank?

No, your ammonia and nitrites should be zero. I would recommend getting a higher quality, more accurate, more specific nitrate test. Personally, I’d recommend the Hanna HR nitrate checker, I’ll never go back to color matching tests.

2.5 weeks the guy at my local fish store said i could add a snail but it’s risky but i put in a denitrate filter media and i put in bacteria every day

Good that all should help the process along.

Seems like you completed a cycle

 

[LAReefer4Life]

Did you ever test high ammonia and nitrite?

 

[TristanBara1273!!]

Did you ever test high ammonia and nitrite?

a while back my nitrites were very high and my ammonia was always around 1-2ppm

i have? dont i have to wait until my nitrates drop? i’m going to do a 20% water change tomorrow

 

[LAReefer4Life]

Okay great, you're tank is towards the end of the cycle. All is going well.

that’s great! i’ll keep cycling for another few days and see if i’m doing good, i’ve stopped adding ammonia to reduce high spikes in nitrates or anything really and im going to do a 20% water change tomorrow, i can show you my tank to see if it looks all good

Yes sounds good. Definitely don't add anymore ammonia. You should be fully cycled with Nitrates below 10ppm in the next week or so.
