Here are the reading for my water para
ph=8.0
ammon=0
nitrite=50
nitrate=20
Are the readings safe to say my tank is in a cycling mode thats almost complete. I started of with cured live rock and live sand. My tank has been up for 2 weeks this Thursday makes it 3 weeks.
 
not yet am afraid, your nitrate will now go back down to Zero, as the nitrATES rise...When nitrATES hit a peak, they should fall back down to about >10....When ammonia and nitrITES stay zero and nitrATES sat >10 for a week, then you can start to stock...

Be patient, it wil all happen in time mate....
