"Dang natalie I liked the ammonia 101 and you just said he didn't have to say any of that. What's a walstad style tank anyways. Nevermind I'll google that sorry."

Okiimiru is a girl. My name's Erica. And to learn about a Walstad style tank you can get your local library to inter-library-loan a copy of "Ecology of the Planted Aquarium" for you or buy the ebook for like $10 or the amazon.com physical book for $25 ish. Basically the idea is that growing plants are the filter. They eat the ammonium. Water changes are for the most part unnecessary, as are the bacteria in the filter.
