Craig, I appreciate your post. Always nice to hear from somebody not selling these things but still using it. You are one of those customers that Mike S talked about, yes?
The effectiveness of an open system in any locale depends on the quality of the water going through it. Change the quality of the new water and the fish will improve or decline depending on that water. If the water in a closed system is actually improved beyond that of the 'mains' water, then the water changes and 'adjustments' need to walk the fine line between dilution of those factors the filtration can't improve and the those it can.
So, Craig, I'm wondering about the quality of your input water. Is it well/bore hole or city/mains? Have you looked at the source water for the reason why less water changes improved matters?
In addition did you try any other wet/dry filtration before the showers and this magical bakki media? The thing that SMG's experiment seems designed to discover: is it is media or is it the method?
Thanks in advance
