I found this product, reducing Nitrite,Nitrate, Ammonia from fresh water
aquarium, NITRA-ZORB.
Only $4. Rather than water changes, this pouch will reduce Nitrate, Nitrite,
in a 20 gallon tank 20ppm or .5 ppm in 24-48 hours. Than recharge it and use
it again.
Any one tried it?
I use a pouch for reducing water hardness, it works. Same as Nitra-Zorb, it
has to be recharged every 3 days of use. I have it now 3 years and still
works.

My tap water starts at 15-20 ppm Nitrate.

Get one that removes nitrate only if you want one. You need ammonia and nitrite
to feed your bio bugs. I'd still do weekly water changes though cos over things
build up in your water that need diluting.
