Between my last post and now, I managed to get my fishless cycling tank to take down 1.5-1.75ppm of ammonia a day. However, it'll be 4 months since I started my cycle soon, and at this point I really wish to get my one betta fish now. I was wondering if it was safe enough to now, or if I should wait until it cycles 2ppm a day. If I do the former, I'll still be observing ammonia levels and whatnot to make sure everything is in top condition.
 
As per your previous thread, get your betta. You have been doing fishless cycle for 4 months now. Time to get something to look at.

Continue to monitor water parameters, if things get elevated do a water change. Only way to know if you are sufficiently cycled is to try keeping fish.
