do these readings look normal

[BigHaig]

Hi all,
My 46g tank has been cycling for about two and a half weeks now with 70Lbs
live rock, and 55lbs of live sand. These are the readings I got today and
want to know if these seem normal for 2-3 weeks of cycling, if there is a
"normal".

Ammonia - .25-.5ppm
Nitrate NO3 - 5-25ppm
Nitrite NO2 - 0.5ppm

Do you think I will be able to add some life to the tank in about 2 weeks?
Specifically the ones below?

Scarlet Hermit Crabs 7
Mexican Turbo Snails 13
Dwarf Red Tip Hermit 20
Abalone Snails 1

Thanks,
BigHaig

looks good, but it is hard to say for sure without knowing what the readings
have been being over the past 2 weeks from time to time.

for all you have in the tank it seams to me to be a bit of a long time
before you see the 0 drop.
