Ive never had an issue with nitrates ever. i ran biopellets for a while and reduced things too much and ever since taking them off the tank growth has been much better, but still havent seen any sign of nitrates.

im nervous about doing it but maybe i should back off the water changes and let nitrated rise just a smidge?
Wow, that's allot of changes in a short time. It's a good idea to only change 1 thing at a time to see the effects the change made.

I always prefer a very small detectable amount of NO3/PO4.
