There are great answers to that. Dsb only function if Set up and maintained properly. Which I'm willing to bet more than 50% are not.Set up and maintained properly. Which I am willing to bet more than 50% are no. The smallest fluctuating in the proper way of doing things can create a very large nitrate Factory.However done correctly it can be the most natural friendly and effective way of keeping your tank cleaned. Of course exporting a bad DSb will fix Problems to an extent. However just getting rid of it will not rid the tank of algaess or nitrates. You must replace it with some form of filter that actually works.All these other methods have come and are necessary for a few reasons. But the main one and most important is that people do not generally make a DSb and maintain it in the right way. One part of what you said is false. Which is that a tank can not be cleaned by installing a DSb. My
tank is living proof that it most certainly can. The necessity of using something else in the time that it takes
you to get the DSb up and running is there. But once the dsb is performing its function those other methods can be removed safely without any affect.
