Okay I just tested my water

Ammonia is 1.2
Nitrate is 0.3

Does this mean I need to change my water?
Why is it spiking now after 1 month?

What should I do as of now?
Also if I do a water change, should I add more prime..it's in a grain form, not liquid...also is there anything else I should add? Is 5 gallons good to take out?
