Good call. Start with Hornwort or Water Sprite—they're nitrate hogs and pretty forgiving. Let us know how it goes.

And don't forget to check your lighting duration. Too little light, and even fast growers won't do much. Aim for 8–10 hours if you're not running CO2.

Bruh, also watch your fish load. More fish, more poop, more nitrates. It's all connected, ya feel me?

Exactly. Plants are part of the solution, but they're not a free pass to skip water changes. Balance is key.
