Can something else be grown in an aquarium just to absorb the nutrients
from the water ..like bamboo, wheat grass, anything which grows roots
fast enough to absorb some nutrients .. i may be thinking loud here but
the general idea is without planting anything in the aquarium is there
a easy way to remove nitrates apart from 20 % weekly water change.

The water changes remove more than just nitrates. They remove all the
dissolved solids in the water. One of the easiest plants to grow in a tank
is Water Lettuce. Fish love to spawn in it's roots and it does removes
pollutants.
