OMG Aquatics Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Currently have a lot of java moss and about 10 water wisteria. It's still not fast enough to keep nitrates low.I'm at about 20 ppm nitrates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Aquatics Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hate duckweed. The sponge filter makes them all get stuck above water level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I use Frogbit, they multiply quickly thus reducing the amount of nitrates. I like this floating plant because its larger to make removal easy, and the shrimp seem to love playing and scavenging along the roots that hang down.

chibikaie Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 If you have decent lighting and the plants aren't growing enough for you, usually they are running out of potassium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I hate flaoyers personally so I opt out for qaer changes all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicente Mcdonnell Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I dont know the name of this plant. But i read it lowers nitrates a lot in a post somwhere. The post had a picture which looked exactly like my plant shown below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 That's anacharis. Very fast growing plant but can also be pretty finicky about its water parameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
