It is very difficult to mimic nature in our boxes. The ocean is not an entirely closed system. |
Yes I agree and I don't advocate this system especially because I love fish, but if you can excercise self control and maintain a low bio-load it can be done but this system isn't for everyone as has been mentioned several times.
If you do decide to go with this type of setup EagleEyes then I would suggest you do regular W/C's at least because supplementing can be very difficult to do accurately since many elements can very difficult to test for.
