What would be considered extremely high nitrates. I just did my usual Saturday morning 10% water change in my 150g. Tested water about 3 hours later and found Nitrates at 15 - 20 ppm. All other test at zero.

> 50 would be considered high, depends on the tank, if you have alot of sps corals then 15-20 could start to cause issues.
