what could be causing my high nitrates?

[Andrew McFadden]

New test readings:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
Ph 7.6

Thanks for all your help!!! The problem definitely was that pesky ugf.

How much did you change?
Don't forget to try not to feed so much and I would still up your pwc to 25 two times a week. Hopefully the trates don't start climbing back up. If they do keep doing a little more on the pwc like jump to 30. But I wouldn't worry if the numbers stay steady at 20 or 25.
Hey I just noticed your from Ohio Haha I am too where at?
