I do regular water changes to control Nitrate levels, but would like to experiment with a Nitrate-removal filter. I see a bunch of products out there. Anyone have any experience with them?
 
adding chemicals to your tank is almost always a bad idea, particularly when something as simple as a water change will do as well? in other words, why spend money on chemicals when a simple water change will do the job?
 
Water changes are the only thing that will remove nitrate along with other disolved organic compounds and/or hormones.
 
Nitrate removers do nothing for removal of DOC's. The only way to do it is to do it right, and that means water changes. Nitrate removers are a waste of time and money.
 
agreed- water changes are the best way to remove unwanted Nitrates. Well besides a heavly planted tank - in which case you might actually have to add Nitrates to the water.
 
Water changes because of other DOCs and toxins.
 
Oh, yeah, couldn't agree more.

I was looking for opinions on products. I see all these freshwater products advertised and I was wondering who buys them.

I was thinking if we ever had a drought, are there ways to extend the life of my tank water?
