Finally I have amm 0 (has been reading 0 for quite a while), nitrites 0 and nitrates 20! Seemed like my aquarium was at a stand still for a while, or I was in a hurry to get the fishless cycle done! The nitrites spiked so high I couldn't read them on the chart, ended up doing two large water changes back to back last weekend to bring it down. Since then I cut the amm back for a reading of 2-3, and tonight no nitrites! Going to keep dosing amm and keep testing for a few days before I add any live stock. I've waited this long a few more days won't hurt! Want to thank everyone who helped me out! Thank you!!!

Sounds like a good plan; it's always best to test a few extra days to make sure. Congrats on your cycled tank! :)
