Been doing the fish less cycle and believe I am close to being done or may be done. Here is where I am at
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 40ppm

I do about a 30% water change. Add enough ammonia to raise the level up to 2.0ppm

Check water same time next day and get the following
Ammonia 0
Nitrites .25
Nitrates 40 ppm

Do another 30%water change and get the same results state first above

So am I there or do I need to continue with the cycle I am on. Thoughts are greatly appreciated
 
You are very close. You want to turm 2ppm of ammonia into nitrates in 24 hours or less to be considered cycled.
