Nitrogen in Planted Aquariums 🌿
Nitrate, Ammonium, Fish Waste & the Truth About Zero Nitrate
Nitrogen is the most misunderstood nutrient in planted aquariums.
Some hobbyists chase zero nitrate like it’s the ultimate goal.
Others overload fertilisers trying to force growth.
So what’s actually correct?
In this episode, we break down:
• The 3 forms of nitrogen in aquariums (NH₃ / NH₄⁺ / NO₂⁻ / NO₃⁻)
• The nitrogen cycle explained simply
• Why plants prefer ammonium
• Why fish waste isn’t always enough
• The truth about “zero nitrate”
• Signs of nitrogen deficiency
• The ideal nitrate range (5–20ppm)
• Why nitrate does NOT cause algae
If you run a planted tank — especially with CO₂ — this is essential knowledge.
Healthy nitrate = strong plant growth = algae control.
🎯 Recommended nitrate range:
5–20 ppm (never zero in a planted tank)
