Aquarium Advice Addict
OK, I'm confused...The fish (or the aquarium owner) is the source of ammonia, the nitrites eat the ammonia, the nitrAtes eat the nitrItes...who eats the nitrAtes? The reason that I ask is that my nitrAtes are at 20 ppm already, but my ammonia is going from 5 to 1 ppm in 24 hours (but not zero) and my nitrItes have spiked to 2 ppm...should I do a water change now or wait? Should I stop adding ammonia? It's been 10 days now. LOL should I stop asking the same question every day?
On a side note: How are nitrAtes removed in nature?
