Hi Tuner,
You should have been able to measure the tap pH by now to answer BTT's question. I'm sorry I probably implied last night that the wait for getting a good reading should be as long as you mentioned but I actually can't remember and its probably really only a pretty short time that needs to be waited (half hour?) Maybe someone will see this...
Anyway, that's your next step. The most desirable thing is for your tap pH to be high enough, as BTT says, which I suspect might be true for you given where you started. If that's the case then you are perfect candidate for a nice thorough gravel-clean (or two!) where you take out a large percentage of water and then recharge with ammonia. I'm almost always too lazy to even turn off my cannister filter and just remove water down to just above the intake, so it can still be running while I'm changing water. You can even refill and immediately do it again if you want to get the nitrate level way down (which is supposed to be good for encouraging faster N-Bac growth).
A water change in the later stage of fishless cycling (the "nitrite spike" stage, which you certainly appear to be in) is actually great for giving you a chance to practice what will be your weekly water change process but since you don't have fish in there its a little easier, not having to worry about sucking them up! Note that there will be a "pause" in the cycle for a day or two as the bacteria adjust to this change you've made, but you have to do it if your pH has crashed and its better of course than having it sit there "stalled."
