Nitrate develops when nitrite is broken down in the final stages of the nitrogen cycle. While levels up to 100ppm are generally not lethal, high levels of Nitrate can lead to algae growth; poor fish growth; fish stress; and in general must be avoided. Average nitrate levels should be maintained below 10 ppm in freshwater and less than 5 ppm in marine aquariums. Test weekly.
