Ok so is this normal? About 2 weeks in fishless cycling, nitrates are... Well, look!

All are OTC, except ammonia is .25 ppm... I just did a 50% water change yesterday! What should I do?!

Just as a note in case you don't know, you should dose ammonia only half (2ppm if you were doing 4ppm) every 3-4 days, not bringing it up to 4ppm every day, once you have nitrites.
