hmm... i look at my fish for signs of nitrate problems.. is this a good way?
What would be syptoms? I assume some fin dissapearing (as mentioned in your
post). Any idea why my java ferns would be unaffected though?

I have a pic of the problem (part of this thread.) if that may help

I would REALLY prefer not to have to admit that I've ever had a nitrate
problem that bad, but I promise you that you can burn holes in anubias.
Particularly the young leaves before they stiffen up. The swords and other
rosettes cook up really well. The fish don't necessarily die although they
may look like they want to. I seem to recollect some finless guppies, but
that was probably someone else's tank I'm thing of, yeah, that's right, it
was someone else...

Or excess nitrate?

Excess nitrate shouldn't make holes in anubias leaves.

I think it would kill the fish before it damaged plants.
