Well, in my Onyx substrate tank, I have 3 actively growing Discus - and they
get fed and eat like pigs, so there is probably lots of PO4 in the water
column. Just about everything I have tried to grow in this particular tank
has done well, plants and fish included. I have a pair of Dwarf Rams which
spawn regularly (and provide caviar snacks for the Discus) living in it as
well.
