I'm not proud of this, but I have a 10 gallon tank with regular aquarium gravel, some 
java moss, stems of Water milifoil floating about and 5 Tiger Barbs and one Paradise 
fish. The tank has been up and running for 2 1/2 years. I probably do water changes 
about 3-4 times a year on this tank.  I decided to test for Nitrates and it showed up 40 
ppm. It has a 15 watt flourescent light strip on for 6 hours a day. There is no algae in 
this tank. (Yes, I am planning on doing a water change.) The fish are not stressed. 
They have been inhabitants for a long time so maybe they gradually got used to it. 
Who knows.
