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.
I contacted the Seachem support group through email and they basically said to do a water change then wait a bit before adding stability. They also pointed out that some tanks take longer to cycle than others.

But thanks a lot! Again, the community here is really great and full of kind, knowledgable people.
