Has My Fishless Cycle Finally Finished?

Updated Post No 1.

Hi guys bit of assistance required today please after readings:

Today (29.09.09)

A.M.
NH3 = 0
N02 = 1 (getting there now!!! :))

P.M.
N02 = 0
NH3 = 0
N03 = between 80 - 160
PH = 6.2!!! :( ... added 5ppm ammonia.

It seems my PH levels have dropped drastically over the last few days (take it this is perfectly normal due to the high amouts of Ammonia being added?), am i required to do a water change at this point? Will this affect my readings as i'm very almost there now!!!

Another anomaly that worried me at first, i've noticed today very little wiggly worm type things in the water (reading up on this on the internet seems as though they're Planaria Worms?) -- Is this normal during a fishless cycle? Is this something i need to action now and not worry too much about, or is should i be worried?? Is there anything i need to do to eradicate these?

EDIT> I've just read FHM's guide on 'hitchhikers' it seems as though these are the 'wormy things' listed -- Doesn't seem anything to worry about, but just curious as to whether this is normal for fishless cycled tanks?

As always, any comments are appreciated!

Regards,

Sc0tt8.
