5.0 or .5 on the nitrite?

5.0 is not good at all. You might want to do some water changes if that's the case... are you in a fishless cycle or are there fish present?

As you do have fish in your tank the above is very important is the NitrIte 5ppm or 0.5ppm

If it is 5.0ppm that is really not good and urgent water changes will be necessary.

Ammonia and NitrIte need to be kept under 1.0 ppm maximum, the lower the better. Once the tank has finished cycling they need to be 0 all the time.
