Nitrite level high for 2 weeks

I have a 55 gallon tank with 4 zebra danio's  heater set at 82f sand for
substrate aquaclear filter. Been cycling for about 5 weeks and the nitrite
level has been high for 2 weeks no sign of nitrate dropping. Is there
anything I could be doing wrong

Regards Craig

also check at faucet were you collect water for tank
I was having problem with nitrated also I found my problem in the faucet
water before it was NO3 0 at faucet was NO3 15
hope this might help
(I also replaced that faucet)

are you changing the water? if so stop.. that will delay the cycle
you should check the nitrAtes they are a good indicator of where your filter is in the cycle
