Well, I'm all to aware of the sensitivity you have about "marketing" the hobby. Certainly a fine, yet distinct line, yes?

Quote: We really only want those species that contribute to the biofilm function. After that, large populations of lower forms of life represent a burden to overall BOD and are just other mouths to feed and maintain.

Perhaps you could clarify... are not these small creatures a higher life form? Anyway, I'm certainly open to understand your point, as from what I've read (the marketing blurb) these filter feeding animals actually lower BOD. Why would it be otherwise?

Kind Regards,
Bill
