Issues with O2 seem to cause havoc in planted tanks due to higher organic matter, and biomass, if these die back much.....plants.........and their roots......which pump O2 into the sediment............so that sediment is a gaint filter essentially, then like Ady suggest, you(the aquarium) will pay........
Whenever I do large trims etc, I always do large water changes, it might be due to O2, or some other factor, but O2 seems to be a biggy.
If you are a small microscopic bacteria, archaea etc..........NH4 is a hot commodity. So you are going to use a lot of O2 to oxidize and get all that reducing energy out of the NH4. That's fine if there is a stable supply of NH4 and.........plenty of O2 around..........but that's often rare.
Many of these bacteria like to live in the O2/no O2 interface where the NH4 leaches up through the sediment.
They are close to the source of NH4 production..........and right at the limits of O2 to oxidize NH4. So having lower O2 tolerance is typical. While our filters will often have high O2, once we turn them off, in perhaps less than 10-15 minutes, many cnaister filters will have zero ppm in the water.
Sumps seem to have much less issue with shutting the filter off vs a sealed canister, and it's fairy obvious if you consider O2.
