Hi,
I've just setup a new rift valley tank and am in the process of doing a fishless cycle. I just wanted to ask is it absolutely necessary to have plants to consume nitrate or will regular water changed be okay? I have loads of rocks in the tank at the moment and plants never seem to do well in my tank so cant be bothered with the hassle...
Thanks,
