Hi i just added aquarium salt to my 55 gal tank i went one teaspoon per 10 gallons. I wanted to try to get it a little brackish for the ropesnake and dragon fish.. I dont know how the piranhas and oscar are handling it but it says my Nitrate(no+3) is at an unsafe level on the ph test kit... does anyone know how to drop this to safe???? pls help IP: Logged |

How many fish do you have in the aquarium? It might be overloaded. IP: Logged |

Are you sure it NitrAte or were you checking NirtIte? Generally, NirtAte is harmless, the only thing is does is causes algea to grow like mad. If your fish are acting weird, you can get either NirtaZorb or AmQuel+, both of those will neurtalize it. IP: Logged |

Were you testing nitrate or ph? I am positive that you can not show nitrates on a ph test. ------------------ IP: Logged |
