you know this is the beauty of science - some scientist comes up with some theory, does a few basic experiements to prove it, does a fairly good job, and everyone jumps on board. and when the whole world is heading full tilt in that direction, anomalies start popping up and all of a sudden it's time to reevaluate and change everything yet again. in high school physics it wasn't such a big deal... now that i'm spending money on it... A$&%&$@#!!!!
i will continue to read up on this as i get closer to "the day". i like the look of some sand, but one inch is as good as four to me as far as visual appeal goes. i am going to research some other methods of N-removal. i think running a very shallow sand bed in the display tank and a deep one in the sump would be a good idea, as the sump is far easier to get into, move around, and, if the time ever came, empty and clean.
