Things can be more complicated though. Many folks living in agricultural areas get the nitrates delivered with their tap water, some as high as 50ppm (the legal limit in many countries). Heavily planted tanks may be able to reduce the nitrates somewhat (if you keep a few tropicals only ;-)), but partial water changes will not cause the nitrate levels to go down much.
Water changes have to be very substantial then. Any other solutions for that problem? Nitrate filters? Do you have to deal with that problem in Singapore? |
