Fishy Cycle and Water Changes?

Those NitrItes need to come down, preferably to .5 or below... Your NitrAtes are well within the acceptable range, probably because the only thing that produces them is the NitrIte eating bugs, which obviously aren't totally up to snuff yet.

Keep an eye on your pH. If it drops, have your LFS do a GH/KH test to check your water hardness. Your water MAY have insufficient buffering capacity to hold a stable pH. If it stays level, don't worry about it.

I did the water change with Prime about 3 hours ago. I tested for NitrItes again and I get a reading between .25 and .5. I'll be watching the PH, but it seems to be remaining around 6.6 normally.
