Cycling High Nitrites While Ammonia Is Lowering

[kiddkobireefs]

I’ve been testing my tank everyday to monitor my cycle. Cycle has been going on for over a month now. My nitrites have continually been high right now for the past 3-4 days at 2-5ppm. My ammonia read 2.0ppm for a few days and has gone to 1ppm as of today but my nitrites are still sitting between 2-5ppm. My nitrates are about 10ppm as of today. I feel like my cycle has stalled and not sure where to go from here. I started to ghost feed a few days ago to feed the bacteria population in the tank, also while adding Stability. Is there anything I am doing wrong or should be changing? Thank you in advance!

Hey as soon as I saw one month + stuck I knew that meant cycled + not stuck. If this tank gets a full or close to full water change then any new life added will live due to being ready

The test kits saying we're stalled, those rascals.
