I think there looking good, except for the last one. Not quite sure. Also, stats are in my sig.

PH Low Range- Over 7.6
PH High Range- Darkish Grey, offlist.
Nitrite- Under 0.1, very faint pink.
Amonia- 0
General Hardness- 40mg\L
Carbonate Hardness- 300mg\L (I stopped because something was wrong there)
 
Your stats sound pretty much fine. If the PH is off the scale on the low end of the high ph test then we know the ph will be about 7.5-8, higher then ideal but nothing to worry about. The high carbonate hardness won't directly affect the fish, it just means you would have a difficult time bringing down the PH and it probably wouldn't be worth the trouble and risk. Nitrites should always be 0, though if you're certain your tank is completely cycled then the test might be off a tad.
 
No, I don't think my tank is completely cycled. I am going to buy Biospira soon. Thanks for the reply, I want to make sure.
 
Do you have a nitrate reading as that will help.
 
Umm, I did all the tests I have. Did I give a wrong name up there? I have the Hagen Master Test Kit, it costed $36.00 canadian.
