While I am not in your club, nor anywhere near your area, I read this article on nitrite that goes against what I thought I always knew about nitrite toxicity in saltwater aquariums. It may be worth a discussion in you club.

This article sets out to prove that measuring nitrite, while interesting, is completely unnecessary as nitrite toxicity to marine fish and inverts happens at levels of 300-500-800ppm and up. Far beyond the 10ppm that our test kits show.

If you folks sit down to debate/discuss this, I would be interested in your consensus. I have been doing marine aquaria off and on for 25 years, and this is just not what I learned, and I think a lot of people still think like me.

You are welcome. I just read that a couple of days ago and it put me on my heels a little. It is well reasoned and cited, but flies in the face of conventional wisdom.
