Does anybody have any ideas on how to get rid of nitrate? I found out that the tap water has alot of nitrate in the water and i recently purchased a jardini aro. also, is the aro sensitive to nitrate? I know its sensitive to nitrite. Amonia is 0, Nitrite is 0 and PH is 7.4 but nitrate is around 80ppm... any ideas?

is the nitrate 20 ppm straight from the tap? If so you might want to consider an RO system

If it was me I would try to get an RO filter to use before water changes.
