[AquaticLife] Question about Nitrate Level
I used to pickup pH solutions for specific pH values at That Fish Place. I never did this for other measurements since I was using a pH probe at the time that needed to be calibrated fairly often. You can try the Hach or LaMotte sites to see if they offer nitrate solutions of given nitrate levels to test against. Once you have the product name, you can go to www.froogle.com to look for the best price, since they should be available at other outlets, but you may need to try to buy them directly from the manufacturer.
But, before you go through all that, if you have reagents that are relatively new, you may be getting an accurate reading from your test kit. Plants will utilize nitrates in the water column to provide needed nutrients to be able to photosynthesize, and you may have reached a point where your plants are using all the available nitrate
