OH, that makes sense! I was like whoa that's a silly statement, he can't be serious!

I'm only half joking when I ask this, but did you mean to type nitrate or nitrite? That's what started this whole discussions, BY THE WAY.

Now I am wondering what you originally meant... what is the implication of "water purification" or lack thereof by plants. Before you answer, we are talking about plants AND bacteria helping clean the water for the fish, right? If so, what is the problem or shortcomings of this process that you might... be implying???

I think we need to start new threads on this. Maybe have someone move out discussion elsewhere like they did last time.
