Sorry to hear this BGK. That is quite a loss. I don't know anything about why the nitrate would skyrocket. Just wanted to offer my sympathy. If I come across some information, I will let you know. There may be something here in the forums. Chin up.

This is as good as it gets.
I would have thought tap water...... But since your using springwater, I don't know..... Something got into the water I would think. Try testing your spring water. Has any cleaning solution been used near the tank?

Strange. I'd say a big dose of some toxin. I hope you find out what. All the best to you.. :sad
Windex? Have you rested the windex bottle on top of the tank? A leak could do it.
