Hi Kiky,

Water Hyacinth (Eichhiornia crassipes) indeed reduces your nitrate/ammonium/phosphate levels. But it has even more qualities.
It's an important plant used for phytoremediation, the take up of some heavy metals. We shouldn't exaggerate the effects of phytoremediaton, but all the little help is welcome of course

Dennis.
