my ph rises slowly once in the tanks, rising is better than dropping at least and your pretty okay ph wise, mine sits at 8.0-8.2 in the tanks.
Sounds like your nitrites are behaving in a more controllable manner than before though so don't panic, your doing great.
Well my poor betta is in his tank with just gravel,, as Im trying to eliminate decor and plants from the nitrite issue. Changed it all 7am this morning and tested at 5pm the results hadn't moved from this morning, not even a teeny bit of a raise, so maybe it is one of the decor items......or it just coincided with the nitrite spike finishing, now that would be a pain, after all that work over the past 7 days of spiking...lol
Will see how it goes overnight, as the biggest jump in nitrite always happens overnight. If it is still on 0 readings tomorrow I will add one item back and test it for 24 hours, then add next one back for 24 hours etc, slowly putting it all back until I find one that makes it jump, if any.......though I did run the tank for 2 weeks without issue, just needed to try this to eliminate them once and for all................
Hope yours keeps going well,you do seem to be over the biggest spike, lets hope it continues to slow for you from this point on.
Will let you know my test results in the morning, if it jumps then its not my decor and can add it all back lol
Edited to add: Hubby just let me order a new tank, one of the arcadia arc ones 35 litre, so it will be arriving tomorrow !!!!! Im gonna do a fishless cycle (no way am I going fish-in again lol) on it then transfer my minnows to it as they are in a 25litre and will appreciate the upgrade. Then I will have a spare 25 litre........mwahahhahaha, more fishes, or snails and shrimp lol
