I've got rays and would like to keep my nitrates as low as possible. My incoming tap water is 20 PPM nitrate. Should I start with an rodi system or is there a different train of thought on this? Thank you!
RODI for high nitrates

Check out chixlub(robs) juruense catfish. He's going to do the same thing. Run rodi and bypass a little tap so he doesn't have to remineralize it.
I'd contact an rodi specialist and let them spec a unit for you. Then you will probably have to cut that with tap water. I know the discus folks have a diy remineralize recipe that's cost effective.
These are my initial thoughts maybe someone with the same water issues will chime in

Sounds good, I believe there is a store about 50 miles from here that specializes in water I'll give them a call thank you
nitrates 20ppm from tap are you on well water? FDA limit on nitrates in public system is only 10ppm.. anyway I ran RO/DI for my discus because my tap avgs 5ppm nitrate per city water listings.... it goes 10-12 ppm during spring run offs. right now I run my 50 gpd ro/DI right to tank thru drip emitters and mix HMA filtered tap through another system of emitters to remineralize water .... all on an irrgation timer resulting in 100% wc per week ....there are quite a few good postings here and on internet on auto change systems and RO/DI units .. dont overthink it
