Alright 2 weeks ago I've started cycling my 55g. About last thursday I started getting massive amount of nitrites in my tests and I kept adding ammonia. This weekend a friend of mine gave me a sponge of his used media and I've put it into the filter this sathurday.

Now I've just done a test:

Ammonia: is about 1.0 (I put enough ammonia to have it around 3-4 this morning)
Nitrites: Between 2 and 5
Nitrates: 80

Is my cycling done? What should be the next step if I want to add fish next weekend?
 
Ammonia and Nitrites need to be hitting 0 within 24 hours of dosing for your tank consistently (i.e. for a few days) before you can consider the tank cycled.
