Not luck in the Triton Forum. Anyone here know this answer to this one?
Does Cheato release aminos while growing or only when it dies off? I originally let my cheato grow and die off with available nutrients per Triton method recommendation but that became a messy affair and clogged my power heads and reactor. With regular trimming and nitrate dosing I'm thinking I can keep a nice clean fuge with constantly growing Cheato (so far so good); but, am I losing any positive byproducts (aminos) by not letting it go through the natural grow / die off cycle?
Should I dose aminos if I'm not letting the cheato ever die off partially? And is there any risk of dosing aminos in a no water change tank?
Thanks
