How to remove nitrate/ old post is/was sweet potato posin.. after sign up and typing this all out.
Can’t post cause threads to old..
Disappointed so I’m hoping someone can find this information useful.
Sweet potato in fish tank - yes
They roots and leaves can be bad for cats/dog.
The sweet potato is tremendous at removing nitrates.
U submerge 1/3 potato under water. (Wash though) inside a week It will have a good supple of nature filters (roots) , they sprout and go crazy. Then they stop, it will then concentrate on gathering light by sending shoots.
It’s remarkable and simple. Me and my 5 year old did as experimental way of removing ‘bad’ stuff from the water..
here’s the rub. A potato is like a sponge . Around 2 months it will start to rot. Cut the shoots off and simply put in fish tank. They will also root. And grow like crazy as well. Awesome, easy and a great filter.
Better than photos.. way better than a spider , bamboo is pretty but wasn’t as good a filter.
Sweet potato. That’s the way.
At some point u will even have to trim the roots to keep em from taking over.
