Re: Nitrites too high!
if you have a filter you should be fine, that should be able to house all the bb necessary.
I know people swear by Prime, but I don't think it detoxifies nitrite. From my knowledge it "detoxifies" ammonia by insuring all ammonia gets converted into ammonium, which is less toxic than ammonia, however 99% of that ammonia is already ammonium naturally in your tank. I've never used prime, so I could be wrong, but my method is always to do a waterchange whenever a toxin gets too high in a tank instead of relying on chemicals whose claims I don't know how to verify.
Definitely do a waterchange if your nitrites reach toxic levels, there's no point in speeding up your cycling if your inhabitants don't survive the process.
