I love rams and have been working on learning to keep nitrates low so I can decide if I can have one.
I did several daily 50% changes and still showed just over 10ppm nitrates. Finally checked my tap and found that the nitrates there were just about the same as in my tank. So - even if I changed 100% every day, and only had one fish in my tank, my nitrates would never be optimal for a ram because the nitrates start so high in my tap.
Other than live plants, is there any way I could bring the nitrates down?
Thanks!
