nitrate
... frequent partial water changes will dilute the ammonia and nitrite but they could prolong the cycle time. Nitrate is safe up to 40 ppm. Sometimes, tap water has high nitrates so a partial water chang...
John, I just did a water test, and everything came out 0.
Amm-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-0
yesterday on my nitrate reading I had 10, can you tell me what is going on, or don't I have to worry about ...
hi all, i have had my tank running for over 5 week the problem ive got is my ammonina and nitrate is to high i have a testing kit API one and the reading im getting is as followed
nitrite 0ppm

Nitrates
A nitrate is a salt of nitric acid with an ion composed of one nitrogen and three oxygen atoms (NO3−).
In freshwater systems close to land, nitrate can reach high levels that can poten...
Nitrate and nitrite are both compounds of nitrogen and oxygen, and ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen. Both ammonia and nitrite are reactive and dangerous to fish. When an aquarium is cycl...

I just did a water change. The nitrate and nitrite are both zero now and the ammonia is .50
I have the test strips to test...

The zero nitrate is still puzzling, because most tap water has some nitrate. If the reagent (drops) is...

i would say yes. just try to get the nitrate to zero by adding the beneficial vacteria growing in the media filter and gravel like you said. just make sure you keep on top of the water peramiters and ...
...urn the ammonia into nitrite, but bad because you do not yet have enough bacteria to turn the nitrite into nitrate. Nitrite is just as bad for your fish as ammonia. All all I can think to recommend at...

My nitrate level is high, I have done many water changes, added plants and have tried CYCLE, AMQ...
I just finished battleing a low ph and hi nitrate problem. the answer for me was daily 25% water change and new carbon. just water changes alone only temp raised the ph and the nitrate would come ba...

It sounds like the maintenance issue is OK. Some city water supplies have high nitrate levels, so it could be in your tap water. If that's the case, distilled or reverse osmosis water can be used...
Are you sure it's nitrite (with an i) and not nitrate (with an a)? Nitrite is toxic to fish, but the beneficial bacteria in an established aquarium should neutralise it. Nitrate is common in publ...
Welcome to the forum!
What are your water readings? Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate? Which fish do you have in there? How often do you change their water?
...ould be 24-26 degrees C, PH between 6 and 8 but this needs to be steady a changing PH can be bad for fish, nitrAte between 0-20ppm, nitrIte at 0ppm (toxic to fish) and ammonia 0ppm (toixc to fish).

What are your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings?
Welcome to our forum. Most freshwater aquariums will have nitrate(NO3); the unsafe level starts at 80ppm. Nitrite (NO2) is unsafe at any level, as is ammonia. Test kits for ammonia are usually sold se...

I test regularly for Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate. Ammonia and nitrite are near 0, but nitrate is around 50ppm.

No, I mean what are your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings?
