    looks like your doing good but still have some time to cycle if your still showing any nitrites at all. your dkh is a little on the high side but that may come down on its own a good range is 9-14 dkh with 14 even being on the high side. after the cycle doing a water change should bring down the nitrates also it takes a little time for the sb to start working so give it a little time and you should be fine.
