my nitrate lvls are really high 80 ppm and i can get them down ive been doing 50% wc every 2 days what else can i do??? plz help
You could try adding some fast growing live plants to help absorb the nitrate.
Have you checked your tap for nitrates as well? You will need more plants than a moss ball to help reduce nitrates but in the meantime, pwcs are about your only other option. How much do your nitrate levels drop after a 50% pwc? If they are not dropping by half, then i have to suspect your tap water is contributing to the problem.
