Quick cycling question

[Reese]

Ammonia has been at zero for over a week. Meanwhile my nitrites were off the chart but three days ago dropped to .5. How close, in general, would anyone guess that I am to being fully cycled. This is my first saltwater tank so I'm just curious. Does it usually hold at a similiar low reading for a while or disappear after a few days?

Thanks.

You should check for nitrates, too ... they'll start to climb.

You're very close, though .... after mine was at .5 it tooks another few days to get to untedectable.
