Help Is My Tank Finally Cycling?

[FishNewbie]

Hello I believe my tank is finally starting to cycle, can someone confirm this. My temp is 79 PH 7.2 Amm is 1.0 Nitrites .50 Nitrates 5.0. I know it is suppose to be cycled when Amm and Nitrites are zero and I get a reading on Nitrates. I guess my question is is it normal for there to be a reading of Amm, Nitrites, and Nitrates at the same time? It has been this way for about 48 hours. I plan on starting a new tank after the holidays, I am currently running an AquaClear 30 in my tank with 2 sponges, can I pull one sponge out of my current filter and use it in the new tank to seed the new filter?

Some water supplies have naturally occuring nitrates which would cause you to always have a nitrate reading. Your tank has started to cycle, it should reach its peak ammonia level towards this time next weekend.
