Raise in nitrates

[maestromad]

Hey guys. I've recently switched over to using prime and have noticed that the nitrates have risen to around 20 they were 0-5 previously.
Can prime do this or just a coincidence?

I have a 110L tank and when I do a pwc 40ishL is dose the initial refill bucket with 3ml.

Cheers

Anyone??

I would think its coincidence. Doesn't Prime detoxify nitrates? Maybe you should contact Seachem and ask them exactly how it works.

I would say coincidence.

You must have had some ammonia, prime takes ammonia and binds it so the BB can convert it to nitrites therefore raising nitrates! Just my thought.
