Advice on Nitrate/Phosphate problems

[medican]

Well chime you did.....
Since you might as well of cut and paste Albert, thanks for your thought.

Going on and on.......

well maybe but if you had read the posts before it was stated that the sand bed and the hassle they cause is one of the reasons people get out of the hobby. I would say that’s not true and stated why I thought people left the hobby. It's just my opinion, but once again thanks for your thought.

Your right, if your not going to use a sand bed for what its ment for then BB is the way to go. I would say .5 to 1in is a waist of time and I wouldn’t have the time to clean it either.

In your post 1 is stating the same as 2,4 we can put in there too.

LMAO.....#3 I think the only SLOW one out there is YOU.........the rest of the people on here I don’t think would take kindly to being called that.

Sand beds when used properly(not cleaned) once they have matured(I ment the sand bed), play an essential roll in the cycle of a reef tank.
IMO a true reef tank should be able to take care of its own waist products with little or no help from us.

By the way a learning curve is about learning NOT decisions.

Nobody said anything about beneficial nutrients in a sand bed.

What do you think creates a denitrification prosess in the sand bed.

Even Albert has stated there is not enough in live rock...+....its not the same thing. One works on high O2 the other on Low O2.

I'll see your 10 or 20 names and raise you a PH D in micro biology

you might think he goes on and on but in the end you will see pictures of what’s in your sand bed. (If anything you will like the pictures)
