you can try herbs: basil, mint, cilantro, etcs
reduce your nitrate and feed you at the same time.

Wow! So what you're telling me without reading 85 pages of great info (I got 15 in...) is my 240 can survive with select plants, lighting... a powerhead, heater and should be ok? Without powering a sump/ canister or hob? Lol insane!

Pretty much.


Last week I went out to the shed and checked on my guys, the 500gallon was half empty. The plant overflow got clogged and was dripping water out the back! Check your drains! The pothos officially go all the way around the shed, miniumum 36' vine.

What you believe is irrelevant to this thread.




Little update to my shed. We shall see if I will have time to do the overhaul I want come summer time.

My Ipad froze and I am not re typing everything. In short I didn't read this thread and will read it tomorrow. This is my week old tank with elodea and another plant. I will test the water tomorrow and post results tomorrow. I added a couple of air stones today. Before I added the airstones there was no circulation and the plants produced enough o2 for the fish.

With my saltwater tanks I always avoided a noticable cycle when I used macro algae when starting the tank.
