Aquarium Advice FINatic
my tank has been set up for 2 and a half month.
everything is fine except the nitrate.
it keeps at 15~20ppm
I did check my mixed water before I add to the tank,
I know I m using tap water, but I used prime and the water test and the mixed water is super good, everything is 0.
I usually do 20% water change every 4days, cuz i don't want my snails to die, I do 20% every other day now.
Anyone know what cause the nirate to stay at 20ppm?
I have 8 or 9 hermits, 4 nassarius snails, and 3 green spotted puffers.
I m thinking the puffers is the reason why the nitrate stay that high.
if thats really the case, will the refu I set up in the near future help reduce nitrate?
