Hello again and thank u for the reply. i did a 30% water change this morning, added the stabilizer and about two hours later these are the readings:
Cl= 0
PH= 6.8
Kh= 6هd. - I dont know what that is!
GH= ok
NO2= 5 mg/l - in the Red, but lower than before
NO3= 100 mg/l. - in the Red but also lower than before

I added stabilizing fluid as per directions, I think to enhance good bacteria counts, also I added Prime as recommended per water change to remove Ammonia and Chlorine. Temp is about 26 Deg. Cent., and water is crystal clear.

Dont have an ammonia tester, but I recognize that Ammonia is high since Nitrate and Nitrite are high.

Seems that the Nitrogen Cycle is moving but slowly, Not sure!

Regards,
