My nitrates absolutely will not go down. In the last hour, I have done a 90% and an 80% water change and the nitrates are still at 40 ppm? It's a 20 gallon.

Have you checked your tap water for nitrates?
ouch! That's not helping anything..My tap water is at 40 ppm...
I would still take 2 samples to the lfs just for confirmation that its not your test kit. If your nitrates are that high from your tap I might consider contacting the city where you live. Not only is it hard on the fish but it not good for YOU!

I don't want to call the city. I was going to get a 5 gallon culligan bottle and do water changes with that every other week. Would this pose a problem?
