    and heres another thread that helped me decide to go ahead and do the water change.

    http://www.3reef.com/forums/new-hobby/water-changes-during-cycle-130912.html

    there ya go. It starts off as a discussion about Dr Timms one and only, but the high nitrite issue applies, no matter how you are a cycling your tank. Alot of hobbyists say not to do a water change during cycling. But Dr tims and Drs Foster and Smith recommend it. I chose to take the advice of the doctors that have been in the hobby and growing bacteria for 20+ years ;) Its hard to tell from the color of your pics, is your nitrite 2 or 5?
