Water changes are a very predictable and reliable way to reduce the concentration of nutrients leaching in the water column. Emersed and floating plants can also help .Ceratophyllum, Egeria, Hydrocotyle leucocephala, Ceratopteris are easy, fast growing plants that can be used for such purposes.

Hi
plated tanks operate very different from fish only tanks.You don't want nutrient depletion .All plants will use up nutrients while they are in active growth.The one mentioned above are really good(and easy) fast growing plants .The floating plants will always uptake more nutrients as they are not CO2 limited having access to the atmosphere CO2 levels.
Its just a matter of finding what will do well in your specific system conditions. You can have a look at Tropica easy range for ideas as they are fairly undemanding .
