System Status on 11/5

Three weeks in and the aquarium set up seems to be going through a nitrite spike. Other conditions such as ammonia and ph are within safe levels. I will be doing a 20% water change tomorrow and will cut feeding to every other day until water returns to normal. Here are my estimated readings:

Nitrate 20 Safe
Nitrite 10 Danger
Hardness 0 Very Soft
Alkalinity 120 - 180 Ideal
pH 7.2 - 7.8 Neautral to Alkaline
Ammonia - Safe

I used jungle lab 6 in 1 test strip kit.
