What happens when excess food and waste build up in a shrimp tank? Mark explains nutrient pollution, why he is especially cautious in acidic bee-shrimp setups, and how he uses fast-growing plants as part of his own nutrient-management routine.
You will see how duckweed and hornwort capture nutrients as they grow, and why those nutrients only leave the aquarium when plant material is actually removed. Plants support filtration; they do not replace sensible feeding, water testing or maintenance.
