I just set up a new 56g tank. I have a new filter in it, and it is running great. I did some water tests today, and I found out that my nitrate is a tad high. Though it is not lethal for fish, it still worries me why there is nitrate in an empty tank.
To help condition the water, I put in 15 gallons from another aquarium. Could this have attributed to the nitrate? I also have a mid-sized amazon sword plant in there. It is very green and looks very healthy. Could this have helped with it? What I dont understand is that there are no fish in the tank, but there is nitrate. Any ideas why there is any nitrate?
What should I do guys?
Thanks in advance.
