Thanks! That's a much simpler way to put it
I'm just wondering if our traditional thinking that we should strive for as low bioload as possible may be a little backwards. And how it would be if we did the opposite & pushed our systems to handle more. Actually I already know one result >> elevated phosphates

Also, we have no way of knowing what percentage of LR surface area is being utilized by bacterial populations, so assuming 20% may be way off. I honestly don't know...

I just picked 20% as an example.
How much do you guys feed? I feed the equivalent of 10 cubes mysis, 1 cube size of live artemia nauplii & 1/2 silverside fish per day (100g tank) from what I'm hearing that's on the heavy side
