It isn't my experiment and I'm too old to worry with being sensitive. Years ago when the Oprah crowd was busy telling men to get in touch with their femenine side I found mine, and it was PMS
. I love a good ascerbic wit. Hang around and you'll discover mine. What I don't like is demeaning, condecending, arrogance; and that is the way your post came off whether you intended it to or not. Besides, if BS/BH systems are just so much B.S. then all those silly Japanese selling their Koi for $5K+ must be delusional. Never intended to start a problem here so lets start over.

I haven't noticed any BS/BH fanatics following this thread. Just a few curios like myself. Your points are all well taken (including JP's sarcastic wit
). The "plants cure everything" sentiment is overrated. They are a nice suppliment in the right setting but definitely not a cure all. As far as sedimentation goes, dtbh's experiment follows the same sedimentation removal protocol as would be used in most systems and I haven't seen anything to indicate the extreme view that the shower will magically make them all disappear. What he has done is construct an empirically sound experiment to measure the effectiveness of his setup as compared to before.
