Protein from uneaten food, plant matter, fish
waste, and respiration converts into Ammonia. Nitrosomonas a naturally occurring bacteria convert ammonia into nitrite.And then Nitrobacter another naturally occurring bacteria, convert the nitrite into nitrate.Nitrate is a nutrient which
feeds plant growth.Plants, algae etc. Are eaten and recycled by fish, as well as constantly growing
new, shedding their old and adding it back to the cycle as ammonia.
