Am I done?

As of this time yesterday my Nitrites were 0.25ppm, I then added 2ml of ammonia (12g tank) - probably too much because my Nitrites after a few hours went off the scale again (I was a little disappointed last night needless to say - even though I just did). My ammonia though goes to zero in an hour-ish.

BUT as of now I'm back down to 0.25ppm, about 12hrs later (could have been less, I didn't check 1st thing this morning).

Could this really be the end?!?!

If I'm actually not done, is 6 or so visible snails enough to keep the cycle alive? I'm going to be gone for 2 days and have to come up with a way to keep the cycle from stalling.

Consider this one closed, as I've actually cycled (see newer thread - as I have a different issue that has arrisen .. sigh ...).
