Ya, I've been tossing this idea around too. I already dose MB7 too help with the new set up and so I was considering keeping that going with whatever carbon source. I think some of the big reasons why ULNS fail is the development of bacterial monocultures.

I've also been debating having my TLF reactor run rowaphos or GFO forthe phosphates. I know people recommend not doing this so that there are phosphates to support the bacteria, but I don't think, at least from what I've been reading, that the bacteria handles enough of the phosphates.
