i`am doing a fishless cycle, my nitrites are off the charts, ammonia is 0 how long before the nitrites are at 0? thanks

Won't be long now. They will start dropping and then do so nearly all at once.

I take it you are using pure ammonia? If so, keep adding enough to register 3. until both ammonia and nitrites test at 0. Then nitrates will be high so do a large water change and plunk your fishies in there!
