I have a 5G kinda-sorta El Natural tank that more or less ended up that way on it's own. It doesn't follow all of the the 'rules', but it is packed with floating stem plants and other floated plants that should be planted and aren't. I threw extra bits and pieces of plants in there along the way, including some fast growers. It has a regular fluorescent hood and gets some sun. There's also Red Cherry Shrimp, Red Ram Snails & a couple of small male Guppies. It's a tank I meant to take down actually, so I didn't replace the filter. It all balanced out and everyone seems fine.
My question is, can too many plants result in the oxygen levels falling too far at night? I know this can be an issue in CO2 tanks but is there a concern without it? When I say this thing is packed, it's really packed, and there's no water movement.
Thanks!
