What are Nitrates in Aquariums?
Nitrates (NO3) are dissolved nitrogen compounds naturally present in aquarium water. They are byproducts of biological waste and can accumulate over time.Common Sources of Nitrate in Aquariums
- Uneaten Fish Food: Excess food decomposes and contributes to nitrate levels.
- Fish Waste: Waste from fish breaks down and adds to nitrates.
- Decaying Plants: Dying plants introduce additional nitrogen into the water.
- Dirty Filters: Poorly maintained filters harbor waste, increasing nitrate concentration
