Nitrate

[RICH123]

i thought my axie had redleg but wahat was happening is the nitrate levels where going up slowly so i didnt notice it that much and he was obviously getting stressed, and now they are out of control i have done 2 50 percent water changes but they are still high what causes nitrate levels to increase besides a dirty tank, my tank isnt dirty by the way,and how do you bring them down?

NITRATE is not a problem for axies upto about 80
AMMONIA and NITRITE are the 2 to concern yourself with.
If they are above 0 you need to do daily water changes 20/30 % until things level out.
Be patient though as this can take several days but is the safest and surest way to get an evenly balanced tank for your axie.
NITRATE is basically the good bacteria kicking in.
