Hi there Robby, 
 
On 06-Dec-96, Robby Dittmann was wittering on about Nitrite levels??? 
 LW>>  I know this is the cycle, and the nitrite will eventually change to
 LW>>  nitrate, but what should I do in the meantime????? Add more plants?? 
 RD>  The more live plants you have, the lower your nitrite level will be.
Yeah, I've added more plants! It's helped!
 RD>  Make sure you don't add any more fish while the level is up, but a new
 RD>  tank will usually have a nitrite spike around the 2nd or 3rd week. 
That's what happened, exactly!
 RD>  Watch the level, it should be falling into a normal cycle soon.
Spot on, nitrite has fallen, nitrate is up a tad!
Excellent advice, thanks for that!!
Catch you later, 
Lenny...
