i wouldn't do any water changes yet... the idea of cycling is to have a spike... it should go down very shortly. the nitrItes should go down shortly and then the nitrAtes will go down shortly therafter... with no fish or anything you should be able to get 0 for all of your numbers, then add a fish or a cleaner but stock it SLOWLY, each fish you add will give a small spike
