Hi Jason,

Thanks for the reply.

You commented "Likely this is masking the real issue: nitrifying bacteria are just less efficient at lower PH levels."

Is this a typo error? Do you mean KH Levels?

Information noted, but you haven't explained why KH values are not recommended at 175-200 for all biological filters. Eveyone wants the most efficient biological filtering no mater what filtering system they use. But the recommended KH value is 100-120 unless it is a bead filter.

Why does a bead filter need higher KH?
