I'm not sure your Nitrite test is accurate.. 99% of the time if you are detecting ammonia, theres a problem with both ammonia and Nitrites. I would maintain 1 tablespoon salt per 1 gal water concentration and would treat the tank with Methylene Blue. Even a small amount of Nitrite being present can be a problem.
What water treatment are you using? Prime would be a good suggestion.
