Just to add another veggie to that pot, denitrification is often overlooked as another means of nitrogen export.

Ya but one thing.. nitrates can be removed from the system without water changes. Not saying dont do them but you can almost create a full loop of the nitrogen cycle in home aquariums with plants and forms of anaerobic bacteria creating gasses thatll escape lowering nitrates. The use of refugiums on FW tanks can be extremely beneficial in nitrate removal.

Best $ you can spend for an aquarium hands down. I'm super glad this thread HAS calmed down. I seen a couple posts that were just rediculous and should of never been posted. Do we need a refresher course in TALC? Back to the main point though, most of the people here are just trying to help you josh. But your always gonna have 1 or so that are gonna push your buttons. Best thing to do in that case, ignore them and let the fire burn out on its own. No need in fueling an unwanted fire. I hope that you get this post and haven't left AA for good!

Most people I know would be doing the same thing as this person. Instead of criticizing them you should respectfully explain the scientific side of what's going on with the water chemistry. Information goes a long way to changing people's minds don't be so quick to judge rather sympathize with them and inform them don't just bark at them and say they are neglecting their pets that's pretty offensive. I understand both sides but I notice its very very easy to get criticized on this site making it turn more people away then help them and in the end now we don't get the chance to inform someone of possibly some better or different practices. No offense meant to anyone from this just what I was thinking while reading this thread.
Goal of the night before I fall asleep? Delete AA account maybe I'll start fresh in the future or maybe a differen forum signt

We all need to relax a little and remember we all like fish and should help each other not criticize them so much sorry if I offended you buddy.
