The king of DIY
What a great idea 💡 cheers dude!
I find that many plants can adapt to constantly wet roots (though some are easier than others). I use the following plants in my aquariums:
Pothos
Philodendron
Peace Lilly
Orchid
Snake Plant
Spider Plant
Lucky Bamboo
I still do water changes on occasion to get solids (fish waste) out, but biologically, there is no need to. My nitrates always stay below 20 PPM. Try it! You won't be sorry you did.
i have been having a pothos that has had a much lower rate of growth than my other ones soo i mean win win
This was one of the best "to the point" videos on this topic I have seen for natural Nitrate remedies in aquariums! Great job!
thanks
Dude.. do a video on sweet potato or potato that would maybe grow roots in an aquarium setting.. great vudei
I try it but why my pothos plant going to die its turning brown the leaves
Will my snail try to eat it, is it poisonous to a snail?
I'm sorry but this story, photos for nitrates, is a real bullshit. It doesn't works.
Sweet potato is also good for nitrate?
Very informative vlog, bro…👍👍

Can you take out the pothos plant and then plant it in a pot with dirt afterwards if you so choose or will that plant die if you do that?

Isn't pothos poisonous?
Use planted tank this pothos plant
Joey any recommendations on plants that could do the same thing, but are cat / dog safe? The pothos here is not safe for animals.
Ez pz .., thx 👍
Devil's Ivy is poisonous to cats and other animals . Make sure none of your furry friends get any of it.
i use peace lilly they last about a year or longer
SMASH that like button if you're watching in 2019
I recently crafted the trickle filter you showed us. I can puy my photo plant yhere and try. Because I read that photus plants roots are bad for some fish
Can I put coleus ? Or does it release harmful stuff into the water ?
Roots are growing but no new leaves..
Can you grow the Pothos plant under water too? Is it safe for the goldfish if they eat the roots?
For the number of all does who say photos is good for your aquarium there are does who say its bad… So who to listen to??
Thanks bro

Based on my own experience lucky bamboo, philodendron, and arrowhead plants work as well.
I have a large 6×2 ft pothos for more than a year, my nitrate have never been below 30 ppm and i do a 25% water change every week. You need a small jungle or a large Deep Sand Bed to remove the nitrate from your aquarium. Aquaponic is good for the plants and bad for the fish (demineralized water).
I feel like the plants just consume all the ammonia and leave the nitrates as a last resort. I’ve never been able to detect ammonia, even with a few fish deaths, but there is almost always at least 5 ppm of nitrates.
Would other household plants work as well or does it have to be a specific one?
I have one question.
Do you do any test that show the plant really consume nitrate. Because I just wonder Pothos can grow in plain tap water.
I use this in all my tanks have you learned of any other plants that require this low of light and effort? I want some variety now
Can i put photos in my goldfish tank??
Can you use photos in saltwater aquarium?
I read that pothos can be toxic to animals im planning to put some for my flowerhorn… wouldnt it be a danger?
So why doesn't he use this for his own tanks?
I actually had success with mint leaves growing roots. Just leaves that had been pulled off of a mint plant, in my fish tank. Of course, the leaves eventually went bad, but the point is: most plants can be used for aquaponics so long as the plants are gradually introduced to living in water/fish fertilizer (if the plant has ever only known dirt/fertilizer). A place in Maryville, TN happens to have a farm (Blackberry farms, if I remember correctly) that specializes in Aquaponics with all manner of plants (specifically produce for human consumption). There is no harm in trying to grow your favorite plant in an aquaponic situation if you decide to try it. As was mentioned in the video, sunlight and space will be some of your biggest obstacles. Most plant species that are not animal friendly tend to grow in shade and anywhere. lol
that green screen tho hes improved so much
Pothos is free for me my aunt is a freak with them she put them around any thing that she can
Can I use Golden Pothos and Exotic Angel Pothos
Joey, can you also plant Pothos on the INSIDE of a hooded aquarium when you reduce the water level to 2/3. I rather not place anything on top/outside of the aquarium and I need an aquarium with a hood because of my cat(s). My idea is to buy a bigger aquarium, then not fill it all the way up. Then Pothos will grow under the aquarium light placed under the hood. Just have to keep them trimmed then though because of the space limit. Will this work just as well to remove nitrates from the water as pothos in an overhead sump, or not?
I always do this with my tanks simply because I like the way it looks. Glad to know there is a benefit to it.
