Apologies if this has been asked before, but with the many threads suggesting that nitrite is not a factor for the safety of reef inhabitants during the cycle, are there any potential secondary effects for stocking the tank before nitrite reduction.
I am completely clueless on this but am wondering if stocking in the presence of nitrite (with the accompanying short cycle) will have any short or long term effects to other parameters.
Is there likely to be any impact on any of the 'nasties' later down the line or is the presence of nitrite at this stage truly irrelevant.
