The Fish Store I was planning to order my livestock from has 10% off sale which actually really adds up and I'm hoping by some miracle my cycle will FINALLY finish by tomorrow, but what's the actual odds of that happening?

TIMELINE (rough, not exact):
August 12 (I believe this was 1 day after adding the bacteria):
pH 7.8
Ammonia Around 2.0 (maybe 3.0 it seemed slightly darker than 2.0 but not as dark as 4.0)

August 18:
Ammonia 2.0-3.0
Nitrites 0.25
Nitrates 10

August 20:
Ammonia 1.0 (maybe slightly over but colour looked closer to 1.0)
Nitrites 0.50
Nitrates 15

August 22:
pH 8.0
Ammonia 1.0 (again, maybe slightly over but colour looked like 1.0)
Nitrites 1.0
Nitrates 20

August 25:
Ammonia 1.0
Nitrites between 2.0 and 5.0 (hard to tell but seemed somewhere between those)
Nitrates 40

August 27:
Ammonia 0.50
Nitrites again between 2.0 and 5.0 (hard to tell) but seems darker than August 25 and seems closer to 5.0 this time
Nitrates roughly 60

It’s done with the ammonia processing to nitrates.
Do a water change to lower nitrogen and order the fish. Not to many, and feed them lightly at first.
And get rid of the API ammonia and nitrite tests. You don’t need them anymore.
