It's not that I dislike change, but I guess I'm in the if it ain't broke camp. I've been relatively successful doing things the way that I have been doing them for several years. Why would I go out and spend good money on the new, latest & greatest piece of equipment, or additive? To fix something that doesn't need fixing? No thanks.

why people shoot down things like denitrifires? because they are band aid solutions...once you stop using it the problem comes back. Use mother nature and do stuff right the first time, get the proper amount of live rock, get enough sand get a sump and fuge..and let mother nature do her thing. why use a man made band aid? l
lets see.....has anyone seen that huge man made denitirfire in the ocean? i must have missed it........the denitrifier i see is liverock, sand and a perfectly balanced ecosystem. what we should all be striving to achieve with our tanks.
No offense intended George, but I really dislike this argument. The differences between our tanks and the ocean are so vast, it's really apples to elephants. Sure, we try to emulate the ocean environment to the best of our abilities, but until we have tanks filled with a bagillion gallons of water, with a bagillion tons of sand, we aren't even close.
