Nitrate is produced by the beneficial bacteria in the aquarium and filters as they break down the fish’s toxic waste products (ammonia and nitrite). Nitrate is not toxic to aquarium fish, but excessively high levels can affect their reproduction.
Nitrate is a plant nutrient. The more nitrate is present the greater the potential for plant growth. If insufficient plants are present then algae will begin to dominate in the aquarium. Aquariums with high levels of nitrate frequently have problems with algae.
Maintenance of a zero level of nitrate in an aquarium is extremely difficult. Most domestic water supplies have a low level of nitrate. The key to the maintenance of low nitrates is regular water changes to dilute the build-up of nitrate. Also, increasing the higher plant life in the aquarium should use up nitrate. This will lower the amount of nitrate available to algae.
