Ive read a few different preferences on what some of you like to keep your nitrate levels, but what is the most common to try and keep them at?

Nitrate Levels

I stole this from a site that says it best:
"In nature nitrates remain very low, generally well below 5 ppm. In freshwater aquariums nitrates should be kept below 50 pm at all times, preferably below 25 ppm. If you are breeding fish, or are battling algae growth, keep nitrates below 10 ppm."
Personally I aim for under 20.
