I have high nitrate levels and I'm not sure how to fix them. Water changes don't really help. I tested my tap water and it has 40ppm straight out of the tap. My tank is heavily planted, but it still registers high nitrate.
Also, is it possible for a cycled tank to have a spike in ammonia and nitrite? If so, what causes it? No changes to the tank have been made in over a month, no new fish added or anything, but I tested my water yesterday and it had about .25 of both.
