It's normal, you are somewhere in the second phase of the cycle.
Make change of 1/3 water.That will lower nitrite and nitrate.
^ i dont know what this dude is talkin about. You dont do water changes while the tank is cycling. Your parameters are normal, and they will fall when the cycle is done.
Damn Filo.

Only thing water changes do is relieve stress on fish during cycle period.
I was told that it makes the cycle longer. Also sry for those posts, everytime I clicked reply it said page cannot be found, i thought it didnt go through.
