Colin the third lives!!! 
(That's right I named my bacteria colony 
)
After over 3 months, about 3 different bacteria colonies, 2 filters, an algae bloom, nearly one liter of ammonia and a LOT of patience my tank is finally cycled. 
I can't wait to finally get fish.
My tank is 20 gallons and I'm going to stock it with...
2 zebra spiny eels
5 myers/pigmy hatchet fish
3 otos
4 male guppys
and some shrimp
I still have to find bogwood, make a new hood and upgrade my lighting but the most frustrating part is over and I can get fish!!
