Hey @adw!
I think Ryan echoed this in a few of the videos leading up to the BRS/WWC System series and I'm sure he'll explain in more detail as we continue to transition the BRS160 onto a CaRx. Basically, as we did when we transitioned from the Zeovit Method to the Triton Method, our goal on many of these tanks is to get a real world look into how various reef keeping approaches work and how reefers can be successful with them. Since the average reefer doesn't have a nearly unlimited budget or access to vendors who will donate equipment and products to them, we have a unique opportunity to do the "leg work" in trying out various methods so that reefers can make more informed decisions as to which approach best fits their own personal reefing style.
So I wouldn't look at these changes as something we weren't happy with or that didn't work out, but more so as a glimpse into what these reef keeping methods and approaches would look like if reefers were running them on their own systems.
Not to mention, for some of us here, changing things up and experimenting is just another way to really have fun in the hobby!

That's a good way to approach things. Myself, being out of the hobby for 10 years was looking for a method of filtration for my new tank build. I'm actually going to try the bashsea system with the skimmer and bio reactor setuo

I'm building a 280. I'm going with the signature series 60" sump. I will be using the 8"x 30" twisted skimmer and the 8" x 30" bio-reactor which will sit in the refugium section of the sump. Also will probably setup the bio pellet reactor as well.

Hey Ryan!
Love watching your videos.
What is your data/experience revealing with respect to the Trition approach vs. the BRS/WWC approach in terms of overall efficacy?
As a scientist but naive reefer, this world is perplexing to me. Lots of subjectivity for sure. My mind... "why not have a small algae scrubber or refugium in concert with this BRS/WWC method... wouldn't some macro algae diversify the bacterial and microbial soup and promote biodiversity... the hallmark of a stable ecosystem?"...
The reefing game seems like there are dozens of methods that all seem to strive for the same purpose. I'm just finding it hard to grasp why we are classifying methods as existing in these isolated silos - when a method refers to an algorithm with various toys... many of which are used across methods. Semantics here... or maybe not.
Thanks again for all your insights and input to this hobby!
