I have a scape of 45 liters. Full of plants and no fish. In addition, I use CO2 and the Estimate Index.
Through the use of EI I do a weekly clean water change of 50%. I keep the scape clean, remove dead leaves, have no organic waste etc.
Is the use of biological and mechanical filter then really necessary? or is the use of circulation pump sufficient enough?
I'm aware that bacteria will lodge in the filter. But they also do so in the soil, on the stones, on the glass etc.? Or is that not enough to create an bacterial balance?
