Re: [Killietalk] Ammonia-eating plants

["Scott Olson" <olson7 at hotmail_com>]

Knowing that plants love to eat ammonia, I've always just included some java 
moss in my water aging buckets, let it sit for a couple of days, then use 
the water.  Never have used Amquel or charcoal - but then I don't have a 
flow-thru system, either.

I've never had any trouble with this method, even doing near 100% water 
changes on very small fry - BUT - this thread has made me concerned that I 
may be flirting with disaster.  So...is the ammonia in chloramine available 
to plants?  Am I safe in continuing to rely on the java moss to wipe out the 
ammonia, and the 48 hours to dissipate the chlorine?

Advice is appreciated.
