Nitrate issues?!?!?!??!

[Bllib]

That I don't know. How would I figure that out?

PH=7.8
Ammonia=0 ppm
Nitrite=0 ppm
Nitrate=40 ppm

Tape water

PH= 7.6
Ammonia= .50 ppm
Nitrite= 0 ppm
Nitrate= 10 ppm (although looks between 10 to 20 ppm)

Crummy water Its either that or I gotta start buying all my water or install a filter. 8 to 10 tanks that would get expensive

some floating water lettuce would alleviate the situation
