Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello all,
I would like to know if temperature can affect the nitrate level in an aquarium. I recently did a water change and even rinsed my filter (two days in a row). After finally figuring out how to perform the nitrate test, I found that my nitrates are at 80 ppm. That was both before and after the water change and rinsing! The temperature of my tank today was 88*F, I lowered it to 80. Will this help, or should I do another water change and rinsing.
