Nitrite Levels Getting Higher!

http/www.fishforums.net/forums/index.php...+nitrite+levels

I got some information off of that topic, but im not sure wether to do a water change or not? I did one two days ago, and gradually my nitrite levels have been getting higher, i know this is normal because im running a cycle but i need to know if i should leave the tank, or to do a 15-20% water change again.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Edit: My nitrite levels are about 0.8-1.6mg/l

I'd do another of maybe 10% just to be on the safe side. Remember that the fish are the first priority, even if it means prolonging the cycle. also that even if they survive high nitrite levels, it could do a bit of permanent damage to the gills.
