Re: Blennie flashing

The fish are severely stressed by the nitrite and the fact that the tank is still cycling.
You have moved way too fast. At this point your tank has not cycled so you should not have any fish in it and certainly not have a fully stocked tank.
The best thing would be to take the fish back to the LFS or get them in an established tank somewhere. If you cannot do that, then the only chance is water changes large and often. That will delay the cycle but may save the life of the fish.
On a side note, your salinity is pretty low. It really should be 1.025 or 1.026. Short term the lower salinity is fine for the fish, but long term (months) you will want to slowly raise it.

A reef tank is like a race car. The faster you go the harder you crash.
