An African cichlid set up. Tap water nitrate runs 90+ so I'm going to try

Wow.

Where do you get your water? What country are you in? My sewage
treatment departments puts out less nitrate at the the output end of
the process. If you have a well, you have some infiltration issues.



I'm in central Iowa which explains SOME nitrate. Just got through speaking
with a Culligan rep and found EPA limit is 10 mg/L (PPM) so it must be my
test kit. I will be purchasing another brand shortly as my current kit is
nearly new-too many purples though.
