Normal nitrate levels in a fish tank?
Differnt types of fish tanks will need different levels on nitrate. However, most fish tanks benefit from as little nitrate as possible. Saltwater tanks should have almost no nitrates. Freshwater planted tanks conversely, should have about 10-20 ppm nitrate. For most normal, tropical freshwater aquariums, keeping nitrates below 20ppm is acceptable.

What is the difference between a reef fish tank and a regular one?
I assume by a regular tank, you mean one which contains freshwater fish, such as a goldfish tank. A reef tank consists of a mixed marine environment, containing a mixture of reef fish, corals, invertebrates, and other organisms. With respect to freshwater tanks, there are several types. Ciclid tanks, planted tanks, tropical tanks, and cold-water tanks could all be considered distinct types. Marine tanks come in just as many varieties also. There are cold-water varieties, reef tanks, FOWLR (Fish Only With LiveRock), lagoon tanks, and many others. Hope this helps.
