    You do know the whole 'Nitrates and Phosphates causes algae ' is a myth right. If you have low levels of phosphates you will get Green spot algae which isn't pleasant.

    Floating plants and stem plants like water Sprite, hygrophilia sp., hornwort, guppy grass are fast growers which will suck your tank dry.

    Not really so much about the algae but rather I heard that the symbiotic bacteria in the soil is decreased leading to root problems, not sure if it's true though

    Never heard of that before. Also of aquarist over dose nutrients like phosphate into their water column (either method) and have no root issues.

    Ive been doing it for months and have no root issues on any of my plants
