I have a nitrate problem in my tank. Its always 50ppm or above. All other parimetres are fine. I have 4 plants in my 110litre tank and it hasnt done much.
My nitrate is 40ppm straight out my tap. So by the end of the week it obviously goes up. I do water changes every sunday and deep clean every 2nd sunday. I take out 50%some weeks and 35% others. I just cant get it down. Ive also tried tetras minus nitrates.
Ive been looking at nitrate reactors for awhile. They seem pretty expenive. I ve seen people have made them for alot cheaper.
My question is. Are they worth the effort?
Also if anyonr can assist me in my design for it if they are good, that would be a great help. Ie.
What size cannister and pump i would need for my 110litre tank.
Also if people have pictures of theres that would be a great help also.
Thanks for reading my story guys. Sorry its sooooooooooo long.
