i do about 30% every two weeks its a 200L and about 8 fish the bigest is 4 inch the rest are 2 or 3 what do you mean the test is wrong . my last house the tap water was at 20ppm
Don't drink the water !
Then your tap water sucks :barf: :yuck: if that's correct, then you can never get the levels down with WCs.
I have to ask, are you sure your test is good? perhaps you should take a tank & tap sample to the lfs to test it for you?

BTW, most cheap nitrate test kits are usually very innacurate...
But you can do a lot more WC, 50% weekly is what a lot do including myself. if your running only 10ppm over your tap level that isnt too bad, and I dont think 30 is going to be a serious issue but IDK, I dose nitrate in my tanks since its heavily planted, and even heavily stocked with fish I dont usually read quite that high.

[ my last house ] were i am liveing now the nitrate is at 0 comeing from the tap .And the test kit cost me 50 euro it was the best they had at the time.I DID NOT THINK 30PPM was that bad
30ppm is not bad, but its not great. I would also recommend larger and more frequent water changes. If your tap water is 0 NO3, then that is the easiest way.
thanks to a guppy explosion my nitrates registered over 200 ppm for most of a year. i've had no problems. after I managed to clear out all of the babies and females from three or more back to back broods, i've managed to keep the levels quite a bit lower.
and the tank is heavily planted.
