Cycling

[spirodek]

Hello! New to the aquarium game . I have a few cycling questions maybe someone can help me. I’ve been cycling my Orbit (jellyfish tank) tank for about a month. I did the shrimp method, and my ammonia spiked to 4ppm. Everything seem on track. However, testing a few times I noticed my Nitrite never spiked. I added nitrifying bacteria (dr tims) and left it alone for another week. I tested it today and I see this... (Ph could be better) My Ammonia came down a bit but, 0ppm nitrite and 10ppm nitrate. Did I miss this Nirite spike at some point ? Should I do a water change ?

If there is a nitrate reading then at some point there would have been nitrite. I'd do a water change. Maybe others can weigh in.
