<p>Filtering your tank water through charcoal will result in nitrate being removed, along with the other things you want to remove but it's a small price to pay. Going forward, you'll need to filter only your top up water prior to adding to the tank. </p>

I test the water wherever I live, and this residence and town were no exception. Thanks for the suggestions, however. The fish tank in my aquaponics garden isn't on the purifier equipment, and I either have to add plumbing or find a way to otherwise purify the fish tank water. I'm designing a charcoal filter, but am concerned about what the chemical property of charcoal affects the nitrogen cycle of the aquaponic garden. I've taught myself a good deal of chemistry, you see, such that I have now to calculate how much the charcoal filtration will degrade nitrogen in the plants, Thanks again - much appreciated.</p>

<p>Homemade charcoal is a good idea for making a filter and here is a very easy way to make the char - referred to as flame cap method. The flame consumes the oxygen, which prevents the carbon from gasifying. The char is quenched before burning to ash.</p>

Well I'm using very harsh canal tape water, I live near the Sacramento delta and delta water hear is just as risky. So I switched to tap water. It cones with its own issue's, but they can be worked around, like for chlorine and the like I hold the water in food grade 55 gallon barrels for a few days in the sun to break down those chemicals and only pull water from no deeper the one foot from the bottom of the barrel the rest of that water goes on the lawn or on the car (car Wash).
