Submerged plants grow under the water and absorb impurities and liberate oxygen, which clarifies the water and helps to prevent the growth of algae. Submerged, also known as Oxygenating or aquarium plants, set up a natural balanced condition in the water. Did you know that your live submerged plants can help to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide, trap it, and change it into something else by photosynthesis? They reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide as you take part in sequestering CO. Submerged plants are capable of absorbing ammonia directly from the water and consume excess nutrients that cause green water and algae blooms. They also provide a natural environment for live fish and aquatic creatures.
