Is it possible for the filter pads to be dumping nitrAtes into my tank. I have dsb and 40 lbs of lr, and 15 or so lbs of base rock. I tested my tank yesterday and my nitrAtes were on the heavy 20 ppm side, today after removing my filter pads last night, I tested and it is on the lighter side of 20 ppm. Also for some reason my water is clearer tonight. I'm gonna be testing twice a day for a while to make sur eit doesn't go back up but if it goes down even more then I am ok to leave my pads out? TIA.
