In my opinion, and I know we've argued at length about, you should point out all that encompasses your setup. I know you insist the ozone and diatom filtration doesnt do anything (even though you've always used them for 40yrs) but many others like myself would argue this is just as important as good nutrition for your fish and should be pointed out for those interested in replicating your setup.
Not mentioning those details in the first post is inexcusable. And the explanation of this method, no matter how successful it is, is mostly unreproducible and unverifiable hand-waving, which we see so often in this hobby from commercial interests as well as individuals who've had some success.
Don’t believe everything you read by the so called “experts” on this site.
Seriously, you again? You are a legitimate troll. There are forums that ban people like you without hesitation, although apparently not this one.
Alright, I need to hear the logic on this one. As a biologist it doesnt exactly make sense his tank is magical simply by bacteria. You and everyone else including Paul seem to be avoiding his true proven method of filtration that he also uses but disregards or some reason. UV and Ozone are PROVEN methods to kill parasites and have been used for decades. Why is everyone ignoring this? I assume they want an excuse for the easy way of just plop a fish in their tank and throw it some food and itll be good.
Exactly. The lack of legitimate scientific explanation in this thread is disheartening. Let's just make a lot of random observations for a few decades and then invent explanations out of thin air. That's the vibe I'm getting.
