"Anybody knows how this product reacts with nitrites
or nitrates? "

No, it will not remove nitrites or nitrates. I talked to the inventor last
month. He said
it is a line of BS from Kordon. What we have found out is that the product
is interfering
with the test kits giving false readings that it is gone, when it is
actually still
there.If you use other means for testing rather than the common kit, but
more analytical
means, such as a spectrophotometer, it is still there.


"BTW - what are toxic levels of nitrite for living critters?"

Quite high, much higher than you kit, as nitrite is basically non-toxic
in seawater, as
it has to compete with the chloride ion, which always wins. It has been a
myth for decades
that nitrite is much more toxic in SW than FW. It is much more toxic in
FW.
