Thank you I got really excited when that nitrite text finally turn a purple color instead of blue. I about jumped for joy. Lol. Do I need to turn the heat down to 78? It at 84 now or wait

Thats good. Looks like you have enough ammonia consuming bacteria. Just need the nitrite consuming bacteria to grow now. That generally takes a little more time. But, step 1 is complete.
I would also do a 50% water change in a couple of days if your nitrite doesn't come down to keep at in a readable level. Water change then dose your ammonia.
So I tested my levels again today
My ammonia is back up
Ammonia-2.0
Nitrite-2.0
Nitrate-160
I think it was 160 yesterday but my son said it was 80
So I guess everything right on track
