    More power to you than. Learning by experience is the best way, so go for it! Who knows maybe by going against the grain you will discover something new that you can teach us all.

    You make perfectly good sense for someone who believes that our restraints are based solely on our bio-filters capacity. Sadly, that's not the case, but rather, it's a balance between the bio-load and bio-filter without exceeding our tanks ability to absorb oxygen as the bacterial colonies also use O2 while saltwater can only hold so much regardless how much aeration you have. If you could find a way to supersaturate seawater with O2, we could certainly increase our bio-load with the filtration capacity we already have.

    Unless I've completely misunderstood your statement...

    Lol, no you didn't misunderstand. I just thought of a crazy idea. I'm definatly not an expert. And I agree that we cant supersaturate water with Oxygen. I like thinking with great minds. It makes me feel important. jk.
