That would seem to be contrary to what you want. Why do you *want*
more nitrate (poison) in your tank, or am I not getting your point?

5ppm is very low for nitrate concentration. I am trying to grow
aquatic plants, I need a slightly higher nitrate level. It is my
understanding that anything under 40ppm is acceptable for fish.
