Hi all, You could try Nile Cabbage (
Pistia stratiotes), it is <"
widely distributed in the Amazon"> and not bothered by high temperature. The updated link for TomC's travelogue page is <"
Collecting in Pebas 2008....">
They are <"
very effective at nutrient removal">. (If the link stops working the paper is: Victor
et al. (2016) "Phytoremediation of wastewater toxicity using water hyacinth (
Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (
Pistia stratiotes)" International Journal of Phytoremediation
18)
The worry I would have is that if you don't have any plants you are reliant on the filter for nitrification and that becomes a single point of failure.It would honestly stop me sleeping, I'd be up every 1/2 hour to make sure the filter was still working.
You can re-arrange this into a sentence, but if anything went wrong "wife", "remove", "wear", "t*sticles as earrings" comes to mind.
cheers Darrel
