It is very difficult to mimic nature in our boxes. The ocean is not an entirely closed system. |
I will choose to agree and disagree as well. Somebody who hasn't had tons of experience and research hours under their belt should not be attempting this. While at the same time I will say that if you have done this method, I congratulate you and will ooggle all of the pictures you have, as for me I am not smart enough to do that type of thing. Just don't think you get into that type of tank management because it is cheaper. If you know what you are doing--yes, it can be cheaper. Otherwise you wind up with one expensive mess on your hands.
Just my 2 cents worth
