Just did a large water change on my 150 yesterday, at least 50% and I still have too much nitrate.
Test results were:
Ph - 6
Ammonia - 0
Nirite - 0
Nitrate - 20 to 40 ppm
Any suggestions?
Like PFG says "I miss this place and all the people associated with it."

Do you have any plants in that tank?  Something simple and vigorous might help to suck up allot of N.

'busdriver'- prunning out some water sprite great NO3 sponge can have some if you want... grows fast can float it so does great gas exchange too...

20 to 40ppm isn't really high.  Give it a day or two, and do another big waterchange.  You don't want to be doing large waterchanges like that back to back.
