Your nitrates and phosphate are too high....what kind of water are you using? Are you overfeeding? Doing enough water changes? I'd do a water change now if I were you. SH

If I were you I would set up a fuge right this instant and keep some cheato in it to soak up the nitrates, and possibly use some phosphate absorber aswell.
