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.

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.
