HI Hi =^_^=

I think this is possible, and i think this is what happen in my tank but im not sure exactly if this is normal.. im currently still testing my water frequently =D

This 55 Gal Planted Tank has been Running almost 2 months already, With out any problems or Deaths to any Livestock cept for the feeder Guppies that is =^__^= Mmm Yummy =D

well any ways i think my plants are eating all the ammonia and Nitrite that the Happy Benificia Bacteria does not have any food for it self to grow and mutiply... so basically is my tank being filtered by the massive amount of plants.. cuz it is heavly planted.

Do you think this is possible? i read else where that sometimes people say theres no point in building a place in ur filter for the colony of bacteria (even though i did any ways just in case =D) when ur plants will suck up all their food and filter ur water for u (including ur partial water changes of course =D)

well yeah just wondering if it is possible that umm.. umm.. My plants are eating all the Ammonia and Stuff that my bacteria doesnt grow too big =D?

What do you guys think =^___^=
 
Depends on the tank size, types of fish, numbers of fish, types of plants, numbers of plants, and amount of lighting.
 
oh mys i missed alot of factors :D lets seee...

was just thinking in general, itz ok dont worry i solve the problem thx thx =^___^=
