I have a 55 gallon African cichlid tank that sometimes has somewhat high levels of nitrate (about 40 ppm to 50 ppm) because I occasionally have to be out of town for a week or so and miss my weekly partial water change.
I have a 10 gallon tank that I was thinking of turning into a sort of planted refugium to help "soak up" the nitrates.
I have a submersible pump and an overflow box I can use. I just want to check to see whether it's a good idea or not. Are there any things I should know about or be careful about?
