20 would be pretty high.. What kind of test kit are you using?
Aquarium Pharmaceuticals I haven't went looked at it if I remember it starts a zero and goes up in increments of 20 up to about 160 /ppm.
I'm at work so thats why I can't check
Ok lets revisit this one my test kit go as 5,10,20,40,80,160....so it was closer to 5 than zero

My make up water has been sitting in a cube jug now since about June 10 ...so 41 days I opened up and tested for nitrate and it tested zero bang on last test almost a month ago gave me a reading around 5. So I reclosed the jug and shook it up and retested and zero again I never did any other tests just the nitrate, one thing I did notice though there was a lot of junk in the bottom like rust flecks some were a good size I filtered it through one of the ol ladys nylons and used it.....i'll see if everything is alive in the morning. I still have about 2 gal left in that jug so I'll leave it another month see what happens

P.S I used the water NOT the nylon
