Aquarium Advice Activist
I have a typical aquarium setup with Discus and Plants. I'm using Discus Essential to add minerals to RO water. I have also been using Kent Pro-Plant for fertilizer for plants. This automatically raises my nitrates with water change to near 20ppm. Is it truly raising my nitrates, or artificially raising them.
I'm using RO water completely. Tested it before adding anything: zero nitrates. Tested after added Discus minerals: zero nitrates. Tested after adding Kent Pro-Plant: 20 ppm of nitrates.
Should anyone have any comments on this...
1: anyone experience increase nitrates using this product?
2: is it just messing with my drop nitrate test kit?
3: is this harmful for my fish?
