Nitrites In 1 Day!? Bloom?

[FB333]

Quick update and question:
 
I noticed that the cloudy bloom is clearing nicely now. I turned the light on to have a better look...
 
I noticed some weird white 'foggy slime' waving in the flow of the water on the gravel near the filter.
 
Its hard to describe so I took a short video of it. What is it? Bacterial colony?
 
Levels as of time of filming this video were:
Ammo - 0ppm
Nitrites - 5ppm
Nitrates - 5/10ppm
pH - 8/8.2
Temp - 82-84F
Lights have been off for 95% of the last 3 days. No direct sunlight.
 
The gravel is black but it looks grey where that stuff (bio-film?) is growing.
 
Heres the Video (Youtube Link) - It was filmed on an iphone and kept losing focus, sorry.

What do you think about that weird looking white stuff? Good? Bad?

Quick update:
 
+36 hours
 
Ammo - 3ppm
Nitirites - 0ppm
 
It seems the abundance of ammonia munching bacteria I had a few days ago are not as abundent now.
 
Did I stall my cycle with too high a nitrite level? Left it too long without giving them an ammo snack (1/3 dose)? Is the weird white stuff killing the good bacteria?
 
Thanks in advance

That's a bit strange... Things seem to be ahead of schedule overall, so I wouldn't worry too much.
 
Just keep testing every 24 hours.  The ammonia should be lower tomorrow.

You were right
 
This morning I have:
 
Ammo - 1ppm
Nitrites - 0.25ppm
 
I'll check again later in like 8 hours to see if the levels are continuing to move for the better.
 
Is it a coincidence that after a removed the weird white stuff, the level nitrifying bacteria seem to have woken up again?

It could be a coincidence... Not sure what they stuff is/was.
