Did you use the high ph tester? There is a reason they have more colors on the right of the blue, but the test requires the "high ph" drops as opposed to the regular. I focused a lot on my ph until I found out the other readings were more important. My ph is at 8.1.
Your ammonia is a little high and it looks like your N2 is slightly high.
The water experts will tell you daily water changes will lower the numbers. If you do 50% water change! it is supposed to decrease the high amount by 50%. Some have recommended that I do water changes twice a day when my ammonia was off the chart.
What is the size of your aquarium? How long has it been cycling? Does it have any tenants? Are you pretreating your water with an ammonia detox such as prime?
