source of nitrites.... where can I get some?
 

I'm listening... I'm hearing everyone say add nitrites to heavily planted
tanks.... especially when algae breaks start to occur, because they've been
depleted from the water column and algae will win if the plants don't get
enough nitrite..

Where can I get some???

I swear I'm gonna get some PMDD from Dominic... I swear I am.....

I asked roughly the same question...regarding Nitrates (not Nitrites -
that's poisonous)

Keep an eye on my thread as well - it may help your cause.....its called -
"Dosing With Nitrates - how much"

Quit swearing and just do it. Sources for all the components are listed in the
PMDD FAQ:

They have a web site, but I couldn't find the dry bulk chemicals listed there.
But they sell everything by the pound, with price breaks at 5 and 50 lbs. I
ordered by phone, my order arrived promptly, with a full-color catalog listing
the bulk ingredients. They even claim to have a trace mix that works in PMDD,
but the guy who could talk intelligently about it wasn't in the day I called,
and I had some Plantex already, so it didn't matter.

Did you mean nitrite or nitrate. I wouldn't add nitrite. In the short
term it is harmful to your plants and by the time they adapt to
assimilate it, it will probably have been converted to nitrate by your
filter (and in the meantime, killed your fish).
