Why would you want to filter out the Nitrates?

Ignoring "The Matrix" now that's what i like to hear, Clive will be proud! welcome to UKAPS :)

I would not trust any hobbiest test kits to give you an accurate result :roll:

Yes hobby test kits are best filed under B for bin i'm afraid, save yourself some money and heartache and forget them.

Yes the better it gets the more we seem to worry it's about to go pearshaped :lol: I guess thats why i love UKAPS so much, i always said the best teachers are the ones that can show you that you already have the answers . Thank again guys, as the Beautiful South said "Carry on Regardless" :)

Thank you both, that's 3 beers each then :o

Thanks Matt, i don't know why i worry when it's all working so well :) i guess thats 2 beers i owe you... 1 for Phosphates and one for Magnesium, Oh and 1 for NuriCalc :lol:

Thanks Eds, best to leave it alone then... i hsve adjusted my Co2 levels to give me about 25ppm hence the PH of 7 i'm not too concerned about the PH is this what you meant? would 30ppm be a safe level for a well stocked tank? i'm more than happy to turn it up a bit if it's safe.

My water straight from the tap is PH 8.0, KH 8 and GH 18, i have used Co2 to bring the PH down to 7 with gives me a nice concertration of Co2 for the plants but is GH18 a bit high for them?
