Yes and they start at 20ppm. I just don't know how to get rid of them. I just did a 50% wc today

It's reverse osmosis. Basically it pushes water through membranes and it removes a large majority of all dissolved materials and minerals from the water.

I think I found out why I have my nitrates problem.... It's due to my SAND!!!! When I bought this tank a year ago I put way to much sand in it and now I have a dark layer of sand under the top layer which is nitrate build up!!!
