Hi all i have a 4ft 170L tank.
The question i have is my ammonia and nitrite is 0 no problems there. But my nitrate i can not ever lower than 40ppm as thats what it come outta my tap as. Kinda sucks i know.
So i am planning on using live plants and going to try lower it that way as i love live plants in the tank. My main question is though <i know there are so many varibles> But just want a ruff ball park number. How many plants would i need befor it would even start to touch the nitrate to the point were the plants are using more than the tank is making. Cheers all
One more think though adding CO2 is not really a option for me so catch 22
