As anyone used a AZ-N03 or any other additive to get rid of a Nitrate problem?

i am not specifically familiar with the AZ-N03 product.
maybe some one else here has.

personally if you are having nitrate issues, there could be alot of reasons why, i would start by trying to find your nitrate source before you start using chemicals or additives to resolve the issue.

if you want to provide more info on your tank, i can try and help you find your issue

Totally agree with Rob,
A high nitrate issue is usually a cause of something. Maybe overfeeding the tank, a wet/dry filter, overcrowding, etc. I think water changes with good quality R/O water would be the best way to reduce the nitrate level. I personally have not used any of those chemicals and I do not know anyone who has.
Take care

yep, same thing here...
Nitrate probalems are caused by something...
these products "can" be helpfull to control the situation while you adress the root cause, but i have never found the need to use them.

the best thing to do to control your nitrates, while addressing root cuase is water changes with a good brand sea salt, and good RO/DI water...
