(you're adding phosphate with food, not nitrate)


Nitrate levels will not rise in a tropical fish tank as a direct result
of feeding fish? This seems contradictory to common knowledge.


All fishfood contains phosphates. Fishfood does not contain nitrates;
fish eat the food (or it rots) which produces ammonia which under some
conditions yeilds nitrates.
