In my last video, "Nitrates at 1,000 PPM", I talked about what might be a common misconception about what are acceptable and safe aquarium nitrate levels. Well here are my 5 tips for reducing nitrates. We should not worry about nitrates but instead do research and take steps that give us the best shot at reducing them.

Link to the "Aquarium Adventures" video I mention in this video (where Biohome reduced nitrates to zero): [ Ссылка ]
