Nitrites are killing me!

[JSchmidt]

I wouldn't let nitrite get above .5 ppm in any tank that's housing fish. I'd do water changes sufficient to keep it below that figure.

Just a 30/45% water change every other day will take care of your nitrites until the bacteria’s called nitrobacter have established. This could take another week. So please be patient.
Check the nitrites just before the water change.
When it’s 0.3 or below, you can postpone the water change till the next day.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help. My nitrites are now at 0, so now I can look at adding some fish. Thanks again.
