Practically perfect in every way
OK bear with me, I'm sure this stuff is dead simplistic for you guys, but I'd like to develop my technical/scientific knowledge a bit.
I'm trying to understand nitrogen a bit better.
Nitrite and nitrate are both forms of nitrogen aren't they?
Is ammonia a form of nitrogen as well?
Whats the difference between them all, I guess it's nitrogen with molecules of other things attached to them..... but what exactly? As nitrate is less toxic I assume it's more dilluted with other molecules...... or is that not how it works?!
when we talk about nitrite and ntirate in our aquariums they are in a liquid form right?
i know to do some fancy scientific type tricks people often use liquid nitrogen, what's this in relation to the liquid forms of nitrogen in our tanks?
OK that's probably some slightly random questions not phrased very well, but hopefully one of you can start to explain it all to me!!
