But what is the nitrate reading?

what brand of test kit are you using?

[Oxymoron]

Solution to pollution is dilution
Additional water changes should help your problem.

the test kit that i am using is tetra
how often should i keep doing water changes (besides the regular once a week)
every 3 to 4 days or would that be to much or would that work at say 5% instead of 10%

read my posts I went thru the exact same problems I was going crazy doing water changes, that I didnt need to. Go and get a ELOS aqua test kit. On the eos kit my nitrates are at 5 ppm. an the hagen kit I had they wouldnt come down below 20ppm after back to back 50% changes.
