Looks good! Just do how ever many water changes it takes to get to less than 20ppm and add fish! It's always nice when the cycle completes! How long did it take?

ok will do and it took me three weeks. I can't wait for my fish!!!

+1 it's a great feeling when the cycle completes.

It's easiest to just change 100% of the water out at this point

100% wouldn't that kill my good bacteria?

Last fishless cycle I did I changed 100% and still had 20+ nitrates. That cycle took forever, 6 weeks+

Nope. The bacteria is in your filter not your water

All good advice above!
No BB in water that matters.

 

[ImACoolguy]

Agreed. 99% of your bacteria is in the filter.
