ok my Ammonia's levels are at 0ppm but my nitrite is around 5ppm and i can't seem to get it lower. how long after ammonia (which came down to 0 2 days ago) is at zero does it take for the nitrIte to go down? what will help? i've been doing water changes about every 2 days. what about bying some bio-spiral to put in there or the "cycle" stuff???
 
That is the longest part of the cycle, it could be a couple of weeks. Be patient and keep testing and adding the same amount of ammonia each day. Quit the water changes. They're not necessary until the cycle is done and you are ready to add fish.
