Tetra Nitrateminus

Anyone use this to control Nitrate levels in freshwater tank?

My tap water nitrate levels are a little high (16ppm) and Nitrate level in my tank is around 40ppm (it’s very hard to tell accurately using API master kit)

Noticed a product called Tetra Nitrateminus and it has good reviews on Amazon.

Water changes, clean filters and plants are the best way to control trAtes...I wouldn't waste my $

Already doing that Weekly 50% water change and monthly filter maintenance (tear down, clean pipes, media etc). Also have various live plants in my tank.
Ideally I would like my Nitrate levels to be around 10ppm but I don’t think that is possible considering my tap water levels.
Tempted by the reviews but also very wary about adding chemicals to my tank.

What test kit do you use?

Hello
How long do you let tapwater stand ?
The best (drop) tests are JBL's and 16 ppm-mg/l isn't serious. If your tapwater brings nitrates, make waterchanges with ROW until NO3 lows to +/- 8.
