high throughput low storage is the new wave in reef longevity design. it's the equivalent of being so rich that every day you wake up, a personal dentist puts you in a chair and removes the little calculus from the day prior, just for a super clean start. they then rasp all teeth, laser the gums, run multiple surface flushes + polish and apply the requisite twenty dollar flouride gel.
an nsa aquascape reef tank is living like that each day, accumulation doesn't factor in those systems.
If a completely eutrophic and wrecked tank with drab green and yellow and gray tones and slumped animals and hazy glass and pockets of blackened waste in the sandbed is A, then this tank here registers as Z.
this tank here is the absolute polar opposite conceptual design to anything that could lead to a eutrophic condition in a reef tank. in thirty years, the biology will run exactly the same as it does now only with antlered corals
without $ bacterial DNA testing
without having to chase "biome supports"
that ripoff is about to fleece the masses
throughput and the export of sloughed materials from all surfaces, the elimination of decay accumulation from all surfaces here, means the inherent biome runs fine, without biological limit, is my prediction.
Removing things, preventing accumulation, is a cheap and free way to get the same quality results 'biome' chasers get, only we can repeat these results for everyone and it can be done without direct bacterial supports or testing. Your tank does not require you to pay aquabiomics money in order to feel good about the bacteria on surfaces... any year that goes by, it just runs and runs and what varies is the degree of physical guiding you give to the surfaces to maintain the crisp look.
biologically, this tank can run without lifespan limits. the design is that powerful for longevity planning. old and big corals grown here are less likely to develop RTN patches, there's big implications in these kinds of systems all from keeping an inherently clean reef mouth.
