I can't attach photos but my ammo and nitrite ratings were 0, my ph was dark blue so up in the 7s maybe? I tested for higher range ph and it was red so I think it's in the 7s for sure, my nitrate was yellow but looked a little darker yellow so would it be 5? And what should my nitrate reading be? I'm using seachem stability and prime along with some gravel (not much) and filter media (sank to the bottom of the tank) how long until I can add fish, I think my ph is and should be 7.0 and also is my nitrates 5 and what should they be.

your ammonia and nitrite will spike then slowly lower to zero again all the while your nitrates will slowly start to rise. do 50% wc's daily and it will help the fish stay safe during the process. The prime will help detox some of the ammonia ect. for 24 hours when you dose. Stability will help things along just keep an eye on your tank's stats.
 
I just realized something. Are you doing a fishless cycle? or fish in cycle? Because either way the biological filter needs a source of ammonia..

Fish less my ammonia source is fish food, I can't find pure ammonia any where, I think ace hardware has like 10% ammo with 90% water
