Well Caj, this thread is a couple of weeks old and I'm sorry I didn't catch it sooner.

Nitrates in the level you speak do not affect fish much.

In fact my trates have run the course of 50 to 200 ppm over the years with no apparent problems. Happy and healthy fish.

Well maybe some microalgae outbreaks due to the excessive nutrients.

Bottom line, if you are running 160 or so, you need to study up on your husbandry and try to get it down a little. But this is not an emergency by no means.

Read the article posted above and make nitrates a personal issue to lower in the long term. I don't believe your fish are in any danger where you are at.
