I know how you fell about nitrates mine are 45! I mix my tap with reverse osmosis water. Just get one for your house and have it for dual purpose.

Here's an idea if its only nitrates they sell just nitrates removing media. A whole setup for like $120 it would produce better water for freshwater tanks.
Maybe i missed it, but what is wrong with your house water? Also are you using the API strips or liquid tests? The strips can be inaccurate, but the liquid tests are very good, just be sure to shake the nitrate 2 bottle really good or it can give false readings.
No I mean a tap water nitrate filtration system For drinking water keep your body healthy and then your pets it's $120 that will never regret spending.it can do.5 gallons a minute.
Liquid and I have 40ppms of nitrates.
40 ppm is hard to overcome straight from the tap.
Yeah thats why I'm using my friends water. Even tho its delchorinated its nitrate free.
I'm guessing the amount if nitrates in the water will be a factor when you move!
Yeah your lucky I'm stuck here for 2 and a half mor years
I still think 40 isnt THAT bad.. Ever consider plants? They will use up the nitrates... Ask around on the planted board.
Right now I have bolivian rams
Cherry barbs
A brick swordtail
A few bronze Cories
And sarpae tetras
Plus two apple snails in a 30 gal
Changing my water I do 30% weekly and it takes about 40 mins
Yeah I had a goldfish who liked to beat up plants
