nitrate  
hi
im quite sure my tank has cycled i have had an ammonia spike then a nitrate spike and then a nitrite spike. i have a api master test kit. my levels now are ammonia 0 nitrate 1.0 ,nitrite 0 - 0.2...
I have high levels of nitrate in my 12 gallons reef tank. Is it good to put bacteria to control that? I did 2 water change al ready but after the second water change the nitrate levels went up. My tan...
Experienced fish owners suggest that periodical water changes in the tank must be done to keep a low nitrate level. The fish naturally produce ammonia through the excretion process and the level of ni...
...039;ve just tested all my tanks today. And I notice that just about every tank has a reading of 40ppm for nitrate, yet the ammonia and nitrite readings are "0". How can that be and what do...
... you use distilled or reverse osmosis water, use it for every other partial water change. That will reduce nitrates without eliminating the buffers needed to keep pH from going up and down. Just how h...
as vashe said i also cinfuse with nitrite or nitrate???if nitrate is high,then it's fine but if nitrite is high,then you have some problems in your aquarium.you haven't mention the nitrite ...
...p. I called the pet store they told me to change the water. So I changed the water and tested it again. Nitrate (no 20) 150 + Nitrite 10.0 + Alkalinity 0 and pH 7. How do I get the Nitrate adn th...
,i think it was nitrite rather than nitrate....and for nitrate the ppm level above 15-20 ppm can be harmful...
new to this sight...im having problems with my nitrate levels...first of all i have a 30 gallon tank with 2 mating discus in it....a 75 gallon with 2 smaller discus in it.. and a 180 gallon with alot ...
I used TetraAqua NitrateMinus solution in my aquarium as well as pwc's to get my Nitrate levels down. It was very effective+fast
But be careful cos sudden big changes in water chemistry can shoc...

The fact that some chemicals may treat nitrate in waste water does not make those same chemicals appropriate to use in an aquarium. Nitrate (NO3) is less reactive than nitrite (NO2).
...uarium Club, I am new to this hobbie! I ve a comet and 2 danios who look fine but i ve started to get high nitrate readings, have done daily changes and added salt and bacteria solution should i repea...
In 30 years of fish keeping Ive never seen Nitrate 0, so you better re-check that. Even the best of water has some nitrate maybe 5ppm or thereabouts. I think you mean Ammonia and Nitrite 0.
I co...
...ke you are doing things correctly. Have you had a chance to check your water parameters? Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Temperature? What are you feeding them? How many are in what size tank....
You can buy medications for internal parasites.
Are you measuring nitrate (NO3) or nitrite (NO2)? The nitrite, with an I, is what you want to stay at zero. Nitrate under a certain level is fine. Am...
...o get a better one but for now this is what I have.
So the readings on it are:
Nitrate None
Nitrate none (why 2 nitrate readings?)

... for beneficial bacteria. This is a bit over simplified, but one good bacteria culture converts ammonia to nitrate and nitrite, and another one converts nitrite to nitrate. Nitrate (NO3, I think) is m...
hello, thank you today i checked my ammonia nitrite and nitrate to know that if i finish aquarium cycle and it says:
ammonia:0.50
nitrite:0
nitrate:10
then after that i change 10 percent of th...
i have 3 small goldfish in my 15litre tank the nitrate level is 0.50 the nitrate is 10 and amonia is 0.50 i have been cleaning stones and doing 25percent water changes
Nitrate is not all that bad. Nitrite and ammonia are the reactive compounds that will hurt the fish. Most tap water contains nitrate, and if the concentration in your aquarium is less than 40 milligra...
and also there may be high nitrate or ammonia value,so the best way is you should take a part of your aquarium water and check it from your nearest aquarium shop whether it is ammonia or nitrate free ...
John, I did all my test for amm,nitrite,and nitrate last night and today.
Amm---0
Nitrite---0
Nitrate---0
Should I wait and do more test and then do a water change or can I start to add 2 or 3 f...
Checked my empty tank this morning and the nitrate level is pretty high. I did a 25% water change and I thought I'd check it again after church. If it is OK at that point, I thought I'd go...
...uldn't suggest trying to add fish yet. The reason is because when the cycle is done, there is always nitrates present. Some people have problems testing for nitrate. Here is a link that will h...
If you get that liquid test kit, you can test for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. When I used a cycle starter for bacteria, I never even had a reading for ammonia or nitrites, it just went right to t...
...ring the cycling process, ammonia spikes. Bacteria then convert it to nitrite, and nitrite is converted to nitrate by another type of bacteria. Still another bacteria converts nitrate to nitrogen and ...
