nitrate level dropping

[Hanako]

...it's now between 0 and 5 ppm. Do I need to worry about a low nitrate leve? Ammonia and nitrite both test for 0, and pH=7.8.

low is good for all of them. Ammonia and nitrite should always on 0. And You should be happy that you dont have nitrate either .

For most tropical fish 50 and downwards is fine, lower the better.

If you have trouble with high nitrates in your tap water (mine is around 40-50ppm) then RO water is very useful.

If your level is 5 then that's pretty much perfect!

My plants would love some Nitrates in the water.

I have 0 in the tank and 0 in the tap.
