cycling question??? 75gal- 2nd week

[joshuacpr99]

is it normal to have high levels of nitrite but everything else read within range? including amonia?

 

[Fishieness]

your nitrates are also in the right level?

 

[joshuacpr99]

yes..... everything else is where its supposed to be(nitrate, calcium,amonia,phosphate,ph, and alk. nitrite is the only thing i am getting high readings of. would a 50 percent water change fix the problem or should i just wait to see if the nitrobacters will convert it to nitrates?

You're cycling...you just need to have patience.
