Nitrate Level

[a.little.black.rose]

Hello.

I have tested my nitrate level and I know it is high, but I wanted to know how high it is in PPM.

According to the test it is 100mg/L.

Thanks in advance.

mg/l is exactly the same as ppm

100ppm / gm/l is quite high
I suggest som partial water changes over th next few days to dilute it.
say 10-15% every day for 3 ays and test each time.

Well, we tested our tap water and the Nitrate is very high, so changing the water more often will not help.
Also tried using bottled water, but that caused two of my Mollies to die.

The level does not seem to bother the fish at all, they are all doing fine and we even had Guppy fry this morning!

if your nitrates are 100 in your water, i would contact the water people, or buy a new test kit.. take it to your LFS to test..!

Yes, talking it to the lfs is a good idea.
I thought the test kit was woring so I bought a new one and the results were the same.
