Ammonium or nitrate uptake?



Hi everybody,

I have measureable ammonium in my tank. Can somebody explain to me why I still
need to add nitrates to avoid nitrate deficiency for the plants? The nitrate
is used up by the plants but I thought that plants prefer ammonium?

Thanks Andi from Munich, Germany (where winter seems to return for some days
longer)
