Wow Floyd... When did you do all that?
I wrote that up I think in 2011, then revamped in 2012, haven't updated it a whole lot since then, the main things that changed have been LEDs and to a lesser effect the screen
News is coming in from all over the world that LFS owners and patrons are reporting fish and inverts building statues of Floyd R Turbo.
:lolspin:
How-to guides should probably mention that all current waterfall designs that I did in 2008 will soon be updated, and thus you might wait to see the new designs before starting anything now. Much current stuff will be obsolete.
Translation: as soon as my patent is filed, I'll tell you about it. Nothing wrong with that but I'm just calling it like it is. Otherwise you would have released a concept of your design/product instead of just saying "I've got something coming bwahahahahaa!! GET EXCITED OMG"
We've all heard that kind of hype before from you and let's just say I'll believe it when I see it and when there is rock solid proof that your claims hold true.
Until then, I know what works the most consistently.
Of course also to mention is upflow styles, which can't dry out, take no space, are easier and cheaper to build, and technically perform better because of the extremely thin air/water interface of the air bubbles.
I agree with everything except the last statement.
My opinion on UAS is that they are very effective for smaller and lower fed systems. But they don't scale up.
I don't write about UASs because I don't build them and that's not because I don't want to pay any fees or royalties. If I thought it was a million dollar idea I would have gladly found a way to pay for rights to mass manufacture them.
I'm going to also call a duck a duck. If the UAS is so superior, then why not go all in on that instead of going back to the waterfall design? I guess we'll have to just wait and see
Maybe I should just shut my trap. Making myself look bad. But, whatever. Either I'm totally right, or I might actually have real competition. Should be interesting.
