I've been cycling my 100 litre tank now for just over two weeks, I have graphs below showing Ammonia and Nitrites. I tested Nitrates today and that showed as 5.0
Is everything going ok?

Yeah they seem to have been a bit lower the last couple of days, is that a sign it might be done soon?
 
Probably 3-4 more days. The Nitrite to Nitrate bacteria grow slower than the ammonia to Nitrite bacteria and they get a later start.

Is this a fishy or fishless cycle? I assuming fishless from the charts.

Yeah it's fishless, I forgot to mention that.
 
Looks like you are doing well, for such a short time of cycling.

Liquid test kit?
 
Just done today's tests. Ammonia is at 0 once again and Nitrites have dropped a little from 1.0 to 0.25
