After reading chandigz's post, I think he makes some good points. I guess the whole point of a cycle is that things are out if balance. In my experience, I've only ever detected nitrite in a quarantine tank with no live rock, but it is definitely there and plays a critical role in the nitrogen cycle. There is no nitrate without nitrite first. Understanding the role of nitrite is important although Im still not sure that it's worth testing for?
