What about your nitrites? They also need to go down to zero in 24 hours.

When the ammonia are gone and the nitrites are high, that shows you are in the second stage of the cycling process. So just keep going. You must get the colony of nitrite-eating bacteria established too, before it is safe to add fish, as nitrites are just as toxic, if not more, as ammonia. Just keep going, you are obviouslyon the right path!
