JJenna Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'm liking the growth of my tradescantia vs. the pothos. This is a few weeks' growth of roots. What other plants do you use for nitrate removal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard they don't tolerate water dripping on them, what's your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Water lettuce Amazonian frogbit grow well in tanks with lids on them and are great at removing excess nitrates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice_Lacer Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I got some water spangles (salvinia minima) a little while ago that's doing well. My tanks also have lids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwcarlson Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Dwarf water lettuce will out compete everything, I just took another half gallon or more out of one tank. Probably another half gallon extra in a different tank. Problem is it will choke out almost all the light and ferts. I have to stay on top of it. Let it slide for a bit and suddenly the entire surface is covered again... Otherwise pothos is good for it as well. And pretty neat roots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
