Plants in filtration Tanks

[FishDojo God]

1-What about plants in filtration tanks?
To help on nitrates.
Compete with green algae.

2-What about releasing carbon dioxide by night?

3-What about let the plants in its filtration tank during a power outtage (after washing and placing back nitrifying media)?

4-What about let the plants in its filtration tank during a power outtage (after washing and placing back nitrifying media) by night?

5-Without air supply aerobic bacterias turns to anaerobic bacterias, (right?) releasing a toxic (wich i didn t grab it) lethal to your fish, is the presence of plants could counter this toxic?

I've been using planted sumps as a part of my set ups for years, my nitrates measure between 2 -4 ppm. Also use filter socks for mechanical filtration, an fractionation, yes, in freshwater. I still do regular partial water changes of @ 20% every other day. I have had power outages for up to 4 days, without a loss, and surface aggition from overflows and pumpage seem to work off any excess CO2.

my fish seem to do well

Planted Sumps work well. Also you can use plants in sumps that just hang into them, like varigated ivy, place the pot near the sump, and dangle them in.
