My local tap water is very high in Nitrates 40PPM. Hailey suggested I purchase an RO for my tap to keep my Nitrates in check. Unfortunately this is a little pricy for my low budget at this time. Does anyone know of a DIY that is cheap or another option (chemicals, bottled water, Etc.) I am trying this media that is suppose to absorb nitrites and nitrates. It doesn't seem to be doing at thing.
My current setup is a 75 Gallon Tank
1 H.O.T Magnum (canister 250GPH)
1 off brand HOB at 330 GPH
1 Proquatics (Canister 160 GPH, it is new and will replace the HOB once it is cycled)
PH 7.0
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 160 +
3 Severums
1 Silver Dollar
1 Angel
3 Kribensis
2 Dwarf Goramis
3 Cory Cats
3 Clown Loach
3 Apple Snails
1 Bamboo Shrimp
2 Striped Raphael Cats
