Stuck on cycling

In my case, being married to a man who thinks furniture is more important than fish tanks. But I realise that cure isn't available to everyone :lol:
 
As of two days ago my cycling has completed. Thanks the help.
I had to do like 3 50% water changes to get the nitrates down to about 5ppm. Is that normal? And I hope I did that right.
 
At the end of the cycle, we usually do a total water change to remove the nitrate - draining the water right down to the substrate - so the nitrate level is now the same as the tap water level. If your tap nitrate is 5 ppm, you've changed enough water :)

Awesome, good to know, thanks :).
