Hello and Happy Thansgiving Everyone
I tested my water today and my nitrate no3 was about 20 is that very high? I am doing water changes every 2 weeks should I switch to once a week??? I am getting my water from the LFS. Is there anything else I can do to lower the nitrate?? I have a 65 gallon tank reef with 5 fish and am pretty new to the hobby. Thanks for your input.

20 ppm is an accetable nitrate target. Rather difficult to bring it lower without a refugium with DSB and macro algea.
