Instead of 0.1ppm of PO4 a day, what happens if it is 1.1 per day?
I did not give negative remarks. Check his system, trying to understand how he does it. One thing I noticed is his fish load. Mentioning that observation and its gets dismissed as irrelevant.Also, before we actually all start to argue and give negative remarks, go and read the thread.
Exactly what I did.If we all decide to stop researching, reading and learning
i see here Randy Holmes Farley says that water changes dont really remove nitrate

Also, in terms of fish load, I have a overstocked system and my nitrates are at 0.5ppm and I have undetectable phosphates (measured with salifert test kits), oh goodness, does that mean that ORCA CUBES actually work??. The fact that his fish load wasn't maybe mentioned was because those in the know actually believe it might be irrelevant.I did not give negative remarks.

Compared to my tank, and most others I know, he does not have a lot of fish in it. My little bit of observation. If that is the key, I doubt it. But that does form part of his key to success. Having to add phosphates to his system manually, just proofs more that the filtration can handle easily the waste generated by his fish and or uneaten food.
Exactly what I did.
Who else saw anything of value on his system? He got a small DSB, although not sure if he must keep it or remove it. I would leave it, system is stable, and even if it does something partially, it is still something done partially. Anyway, for the anti-DSB people out there, he got one in there... Also the bigger DSB is better guys (me included), his is too small by our own standards.
But still, his system is successful.
read what I said. Its to small to the size we tend to advocate. So I'm slating (attacking) myself. yeah.I wasn't referring to you bud! Why so protective over a DSB, I have never slated them, and yet you refer to them in your post as if I attacked them directly.

Your opinion. I gave mine, so, now its your turn.
Im confused as to whats getting debated here (perplexed face smiley).
He doesnt do water changes and has a very healthy tank. What have i missed?
actually benefit the tank in reducing nutrients
