yep, now you can keep changing the water, and watch for the milky water. As the nitrite spike peaks, the water will cloud up and with the nitrite eaters and once the water clears (a day or so) you're there.

Sometimes, it takes a while during the nitrite stage. 1-2 weeks isn't unusual.

And don't get any more fish until the nitrites are in the safe zone. Also, continue to feed lightly, etc.
