GH- 100-120 ppm
KH- 80-120 ppm
pH- 7.5
Nitrite- <0.75 ppm
Nitrate- Virtually 0 ppm, def less than 10

I am mostly concerned about nitrite levels, I got some different types of anubias since that helps in the nitrogen cycle but I have yet to see their effect. I change 40% of my 20 gallon on Mondays and Fridays. Any tips?

I use 2 drops/gallon of seachem prime and carbonates for pH and KH in every water addition.
 
nitrites tell you that your cycle isnt fully finished, any nitrites at all is a concern with livestock in the tank

Haven't visited this forum for a while but I thought you might be worried about this. It stabilized. Thanks for your wisdom <3
 
It looks like you are using strips.

Please invest in an API freshwater master test kit

The strips are highly inaccurate

BUT nitrites showing and low nitrates you have an uncycled tank so your lotl should be tubbed
