nitrate

I am on the final push to get my sailboat and have to liquidate. I have 2 x 100g trashcans that are nitrate filters. You will need to be able to flow ~600-800 gpd (not gph). You will also need to do daily checks of nitrate coming out to ensure your vodka dose is correct. for this trouble you...

What qualifies as a "high" nitrate level? The water from my tap comes out at about 60 nitrate. I raise angelfish, livebearers, and Bettas. I know poor water quality stunts growth, but what is high enough to stunt growth? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I have a couple pair but every time they seem to lay, too few hatch to wigglers and the parents just eat them. I think this one is special as I have a lot of them and the parents are moving the fry to a new location. Unfortunately I think they will still end up dying as they are in a display...

I tested the params in my 29g Planted and found that my API Master Test Kit's Liquid Nitrate Test indicated there was 0 ppm nitrates. The tank is fairly heavily planted but not nearly enough to warrant absolutely no nitrates! I did some digging online and found this linked from...

Hi all, I've patiently setup and cycled a new tank for a pair of GBRs which I finally got yesterday! I'm lucky in that I have access to great RO water from my lab building that is pH 6. I was wondering however if you guys would recommend a nitrate/ammonia lock solution (like API). The tank just...

Is anyone on here familiar with the Aquaripure filters from actual use? If so, what was your experience? I am considering purchasing one for my 150 with an eye toward it being a help in keeping nitrates stable.

At Aquafest, I recall speaking with a member of GWAPA regarding nitrates. I was stating that my nitrate level was zero all the time. I think he said this is common but not good for the long run and that I should be adding supplemental nitrogen to the tank. If you are a plant person and can...
