what are there purpose??

 

[Teelie]

They eat nutrients that algae would grow on and they look nice. Some fish and fry nibble on it too.

 

[laurasmithuk]

can they be used to lower nitrate? how many recommended for a 96ltr tank?

 

[Teelie]

They can although by how much I don't know, and I'm not sure how many for a tank that size. I've been looking for those myself but I haven't looked up how much per gallon.

Yeah exactly, and my fish like to nibble on it.

they are great for fry to eat too, ideal for fry tanks.

I bought 2 yesterday, so I'll see how they get on. I was advised to have 2 for a 55 UK gall tank - apparently they are good at reducing phosphates in planted tanks, which in turn help keep algae down a little more.

 

[laurasmithuk]

is it helpful in bringing down nitrAtes??

 

[Teelie]

Yep.
