Wow! I'm speachless
Looks like someone has been doing some homework.
Thanks for your educated and insightful view. I would like to add only one comment to this post: Aquarists are pragmatic if nothing else,and systems and techniques that prove to be the most effective,despite contradicting popular and scientifc views, almost always become the prevailing practice over time. Home aquarists have no economic or philosophic need to follow a "company line" or to stay within boundries of any particular technology or methodology. We do what is necessary to maintain the animals and plants we admire in our own little "captive oceans" and we are constantly pushing back the boundaries of knowledge and technology in our quest. The cutting edge of aquarium technology is often found in the home tanks of aquarists rather than in scientific laboratories or huge public aquariums. Martin A. Moe,Jr.
