ammonia -> nitrite -> nitrate

nitrate's you can only remove with water changes (also live plants will use some nitrates)

You have a completed cycle. But keep in mind you are only cycled for the amount of ammonia you have been currently putting in consistently. You still need to add fish very slowly and test frequently to make sure you don't have a mini cycle while you are adding fish.

Big water change and you're ready for fishs.

After the water change (90%) wont hurt and you add fish, continue to monitor the tank and see if you hit a mini cycle.
