If there was any ammonia in the tank today, it was unmeasurable. The nitrite is still very high in the tank (up around 5 ppm I would say), so even though the ammonia consuming bacteria seem to be in place, the nitrite consuming bacteria are not quite there yet.
To continue feeding the ammonia consuming bacteria, I added another 1/4 teaspoon of ammonia today. I will check the tank tomorrow and possibly Friday, but then will be away Friday night, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning. So, hopefully there will be enough ammonia in the tank to keep the cycling process going.
