Ok, I'm lazy and like stuff to be fully automated.

SO I figure there has to be some form of a natural nitrate removal.

I was reading that Shaving Brush Plant reduce them and I was hoping Maiden's Hair Plant does too. I was thinking about adding in 1 or 2 mangroves in my refugium.

Do all plants help remove nitrates? If they are, are they just not effective enough to help handle the amount of nitrates produced in the tank?
