Don't worry about it mrvillicus, this is totally normal for fish in cycling. You're doing well. Just keep doing daily water changes big enough to get it all back down to 0. Do a check after your 50% to make sure that it was enough to remove all of the .5 nitrite. If not you'll need to do another smaller one today and then try out 75% for next time
