Well thanks for the heads up with regards to LR. I was going to put some small pieces in, but if they're not going to help with nitrate I wont. Also I've been thinking about using some of the mud the sell on the 'net. Can I use this in conjunction with sand, or is it one or the other?
I've heard mangroves are kinda slow, but beneficial for the filtering process. I'm probably going to add a couple just 'cause I think they look cool.
