Most filters just turn ammonia and nitrite into nitrate. Over time these nitrates build up in your aquarium until you do a water change. Ordinary filters can become nitrate factories without lots of tedious maintenance of the filter and water changes. This planter filter will aid your aquarium filter in removing ammonia, nitrite and nitrate through the plants you place in the planter. Instead of requiring frequent water changes to avoid algae blooms or fish die outs, your plants will thrive from the nutrients produced by your fish, and your fish will thrive too because the nutrients are removed permanently from the aquarium.
These plants can help soak up nutrients to keep your water clean and pesky algae at bay.
This planter is 40 mm x 40 mm x 100 mm. (1.6 inch x 1.6 inch x 4 inch) It can fit onto aquariums with up to 20 mm (0.8 inch) thick glass.
The planter is black to help it blend in as well as to keep the roots dark. It also has plenty of slots to ensure good flow of water through your plant filter.
This is also a perfect way to grow plant cuttings in your aquarium's oxygenated and nutrient rich water. If you ever wanted to grow easier non aquatic plants in your aquarium this is the best way to do it.
