What causes nitrates in an aquatic ecosystem to decrease? How does nitrogen cause eutrophication? How can agriculture lead to eutrophication? Why is nitrate an electron acceptor? How does cultural eutrophication occur? How are phytochemicals produced in plants? How is nitrogen gathered industrially? How...
Decaying plants Dirty filters FishLab Fact:Overfeeding is the number one cause of high nitrate levels in aquariums. Not only do overfed fish poop more, but any uneaten food rots, leading to even more nitrates. Overstocking your aquarium comes in as a close second – watch thatbioload!
3. Plants absorb the nitrates and clean the water: The nutrient-rich water flows through the grow beds where the plants take up the nitrates as food. In the process, they clean the water by removing these nutrients. 4. Clean, oxygented water returns to the fish tank: The filtered water...

The area in which biotic (microorganisms, animals, and plants) and abiotic (air, water, soil, and other factors) factors interact is called an ecosystem. There are two major types of ecosystems: terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems....
Whereas the first isoform of methionine synthase (METH, gene metH) needs MeCbl as cofactor and is encoded in all microalgae, the second isoform (METE, gene metE) does not need cobalamin, has a lower catalytic rate21 and is found in Bus1i2n-ignMdeepCebnld9 eanntdsMpeMciCesM11,1(2g,2...

The decorations inside of the aquarium don’t matter much, unless you plan to get a fish that prefers a certain setup, like plecos that benefit from driftwood in their aquarium as it is part of their diet. Most fish will appreciate live plants in the aquarium, but it is not a necessity...
(e.g. one hour) to remove waste metabolites for treatment and return high quality water. Most recirculation systems are designed to replace 5 to 10 per cent of the system volume each day with new water. This amount of exchange prevents the build-up of nitrates and soluble organic matter ...
5. How long does it take to obtain government approval? Within ten days from the filing of the request for certification of compliance, the DITTB conducts a summary evaluation of the TTA. If the TTA conforms with the Prohibited Clauses and Mandatory Provisions of the IPC, the DITTB ...
