Hi
Thought I better sign up since I have no idea what I am doing with my new 29 Biocube.

I have had it running for about 5 days now with lr and ls. Today I noticed nitrite was 0.25 is this ok, or should I do a water change?

No skimmer or heater as of yet. Temp range 71-76

Ammonia 0
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0.25
PH 7.8

I just want to be sure to cycle correctly, not sure if a water change would slow the cycle. Also will the Nitrite hurt the rock and sand?

Any input and what to expect through the cycle. Please explain cycle stages and what to do.

I have several fresh water, but first salt water.

Thanks in advance
