Plant only filtration (why not popular in the hobby???)

isn't it better for the plants to have a nitrate level of10 ppm then of 0 ppm? Most fish can handle 10 ppm with out any problems i think

every lake, ocean, river reads 0 across the board. Your body can handle some mercury, doesnt mean its good for you!

Ummm, lots of natural water bodies have measurable nitrates, amongst other things.

Not the lakes Iv tested. Even the pacific in costa rica is 0! Mother earth is 0, humans pollute whatever hell they want.

They are present in all bodies of water, Its just in healthy "bodies" the readings are low. like less than 1 mg per liter.

Mother earth is never 0. If that were the case the planet would be sterile.

Pollution is not exclusive to just humans, on the contrary. Nature is very polluted, you could say nature is the king of pollution. All creatures pollute in their own way, fish can not thrive in unpolluted water. Everything gets recycled eventually, even humans.
