Yes, but not as fast, I'll also start dosing phosphates with the ammonia.Ok fair enough, but wouldn't nitrates at 80 and say phosphate at .5 grow it ?
I am doing all of this because I am planning to add fish next month so I want the macro to establish enough as to maintain the bioload (i am not really a fan of doing a lot of water changes) since there's no fish right now I can experiment as much as I can to see which yields better results
