So I've got a tank going with some major pothos growing in the sump.
The tank itself is a bit unusual, sort of a running "groundwater" setup where the water pretty much is actually pumped up from a sump into a thick layer of rocks and dirt that it passes through on the way down. In that dirt I've planted a bunch of terrarium plants.
My concern is that the pothos are doing too good of a job and limiting the resources in the water that could be used by the other plants. Right now, though, the terrarium plants are pretty new and most don't have thorough enough root systems to do what the pothos are doing. But maybe the pothos being there is slowing them down from developing such.
I add ferts to the water generally and sometimes nutritab plugs.
Should I get rid of the pothos? Want to keep the water clean for the turtles that will be in there but also keep the plants healthy and growing.
Thanks!
This seemed slightly more like it should be in setup than planted tanks/aquascaping, as this isn't really an aquascape and I'm talking all terrestrial plants and nutrition/setup. Feel free to move though.
