More frequent water changes and Live plants are two good ways to lower Nitrates

I beleive there are soem water conditioners that can actually drop the nitrates, along with ammonia and nitrites, I had to use Prime recently to save some misplaced fish.

yes there are but lest try the more natural ways first

Repliers,

Thank you very much, is prime harmful to invertebrates at all?
Thanks

I don't think so considering it has the properties of strees coat on fish, and its a basic water conditioner for doing water changes anyway. If you have any doubts put the invertebrates in another tank for a while, but I'm sure that it is free of any form of copper.
