Depicting Barr System
Heres my original question, Why can't we do it like Barr? He must be hiding something? He must be lying. No, No, I believe him to be very credible. So here I put together things to depict his system and why we may not be achieving what he can achieve. First off he has like 30 years of experience growing plants or even more.......sink. Studies, credentials, learning curve, abilities and potentials of this guy is also a plus? This is why his EI works, high lighting, high co2, superb hungry fish and whatever else he got going for plants. First off his system is 120 gallons, a larger aquarium which leaves more room for error. But each system he brings to the table achieves a balance and has chi to the system. You take a look at his system and you see wide range of plants and colors, plants that are nutrient hogs, these plants are a factor to the system. Pantanal grows an inch per day? Those suckers are sucking a lot of nutrients in. His lighting spread and intensity are both impressive (look at both quantity of bulbs he uses and how high they're hung) gauge this. Or just measure PAR? My import buddy says Barr is an expert at fertilizer manipulation, I totally agree. Meaning he knows how to find the right balance of it all. Now people are going on about micro toxicity which goes against sayings if I got each type right. I just don't buy the toxicity thing. Not yet. In this hobby patience is key. A big shot out to joraan for all he knows and all his help, this guy can really observe and give advice. Back to it, Barr knows maintenance. We are LAZY! Pruning and trimming and fluffing and topping, vacuuming the soil, cleaning the filter, etc and etc and etc it can keep going, Barr knows these things with experience. He also has all the good expensive how can you afford stuff. So take all these things into consideration. Am I right? Please add on feel free comment or whatever you'd like
PS.
Water changes are miraculous.
