cool info, Id love to see a more recent study! Im sure we have changed the chemistry of the water a lil since than.
Don't really know, you'd have to go there and test it yourself I suppose.RD.;5163683; said:Sounds like a bio-secure facility, but that shouldn't have any effect on pH.
I don't think I deserve that sort of sarcarm but yes, really.Younglin;5162676; said:...really?
"The solution to pollution is dilution." There is a constant source of freshwater in the river systems in question. Also, the "stocking levels" in those habitats are laughably low compared to most fish tanks.Spiritofthesoul;5163837; said:I don't think I deserve that sort of sarcarm but yes, really.
I would like to know where the bulk of nitrates go in nature.
I know plants and anaerobic denitrifiers play a part.
But surely there are more at work which helps remove nitrates in the wild.
I didn't know that, but I keep my personal tank at 5.8 with no ill effects cycle wise.mcsnapper1;5163697; said:In regards to the post by ceeej31, how does the nitrogen cycle continue at such a low PH? I thought it shut down when the PH drops below 6.
LMAO. With the amount of rain and plants I don't see how you don't understand.I don't think I deserve that sort of sarcarm but yes, really.

Be interesting to see some parameters on closed bodies of water, especially in the dry season. Lakes do have sources of water flowing in to them usually, but it's not like a river. However, there's a lot more water too.Spiritofthesoul;5164598; said:What about places like a lake or a closed off water area?
like a flooded quarry, where little or no plant is present.
