Hello all
I'm after help/advice with a project I have in mind, my tap water nitrates are very high around 40ppm.Im keeping wild caught tanganyika cichlids so need to reduce this but don't want to go down the ro route due to waste/cost
I prepare 220l of water for weekly changes in a water butt in my garage I was thinking of running a refuguim on my water butt and filling both with floating plants and hanging some bright lights above them.
Do you think this could reduce my nitrates by much in a week?
If yes what plants and lights would you recomend?
Any more ideas or input would be great
