Nitrate 0ppm, nitrites 0ppm, ammonia 0ppm, ph 7.2, high ph 7.4

I'll check them as soon as I get home baby sitting. I do have a test kit API master kit. I checked them a week after the fish died and i did do a 50% water change then waited anothrr week did water change in again levels were lowering but still high. Was dsys later that i did it again ammonia...

Well my fish are all gone, but on a better note my tank has finally cycled and ammonia is gone, I took water to a local fish store just to double check. So I'm basically started over put in live plants java fern and java moss. Some driftwood, not using the artifical decorations this time. Now...

Ok thank you in not adding any fish right away. I'm thinking about a a bigger filter I gave a aqua clear for up 55 gallon, but considering get flvual filter 407 will this delay the cycling? The aqya clear filter keptosing it prime thats why the problem might if happened or at least didnt help...

Did you get any of the other replys I sent? I'm thinking only a month and a half. Dud you see the nitrites and nitrates levels I posted. When will it be safe for fish and should i do a water change both the las levels were high i beleive. Nitrite were 2.0ppm- 5.0ppm nitrate was 5.0-10

Ok just tested Nitrites those are high in the purple 2.0- 5.0 ppm nitrates are 10 ppm Make that ammonia 2.5 When should I add them now or wait? Yeah just added them nitrite 2.0-5.0. Ppm Nitrates5.0-10 ppm

Was thinking mabe a water change now that all fish are gone I was told not to before so not add more stress to fish
