    I have also heard that during cycling nitrites are usually the most annoying to level out. As in, one moment they are way too high, then the next day they are pretty much gone.
    I don't know about Stability but testing your water after using Prime will give you a false positive on Ammonia every time. I personally have never found any levels of Nitrite in my tanks however from using Prime. I find it best to jump-start all new tanks using existing filter media and I even run tanks with 2-3 filters on them to have an extra filter on hand to jump start a new tank if necessary.
