Way higher than we are ever likely to achieve in our systems unless you were purposely trying. Nitrite isn't toxic in saltwater and the levels we tend to see
i'm trying to figure out why i lost my candy basslet and fire fish last year the tank was cycled ammonia 0 but every day the nitrite was going up and up and up i tested it with salifert / hanna HR / Hanna LR was reading 20ppm nitrite started with dry rock and live sand was not heavily feeding i diluted the water on the hanna LR to get a reading
