Just performed about a 40% water change. My nitrates before the PWC was about 40-80 ppm and now it looks the same, maybe slightly lighter (it's so hard to tell on the api master test kit). So, I decided to test my tap water and it turns out nitrates are about 20 ppm. I know 40 ppm isn't dangerously high levels but I have a blue ram in there (29g) and they are notorious for their sensitivity to nitrates. What do I do to lower them?
I can't really get RO water because it would be such a pain to transport that much water over and over.
I have 2 java ferns, 1 amazon sword, and 2 anubias in my tank with 3 guppies, 2 platies, 1 honey gourami, and 1 blue ram.
Thank you so much for any help
