I set up my 55 gallon first week of January, didn't bother testing until early Feb. Currently there are about 10lbs of LR and 40lbs of live sand nothing else.

2/8 I had ammonia at .5 and nitrite at .25
2/10 Same ammonia .5 nitrite .25,
2/16 I changed roughly 8 gallons of water due to a problem with my sump.
today ammonia 0 nitrite .25 and nitrate 0.

Do you guys think its cycled or hasn't even spiked ammonia yet?

If you still have Nitrite, you aren't done yet. Until Ammonia and Nitrite are BOTH at 0.0 you will still need to ride it out a bit longer.
Good luck and be patient. Almost there...
