Delbeck and SPrung were talking about both back in the 90s so it all seems old school to me. Marketing hype is what's different.

I remember the Jaubert System using an UGF and deep sandI absolutely remember the days of insanely deep sand beds.
Still read my Reef books, Thiel,Sprung,Tullock. I remember getting FAMA and reading it over and over.I actually miss the days of books and having to look things up that way lol.
I do remember the common use of under gravel filters with a deep sand bed, but I’m not sure if that’s what the Jaubert system is. I either am not familiar with it or I just didn’t know the name to go with the system.I remember the Jaubert System using an UGF and deep sand
every reef system in nature has a mangrove refuge.... think about it.....
everyone is trying to mimic nature. duh...
The UGF created an anoxic zone (theoretically) under the sand bed. This plenum of oxygen low water was supposed to host bacteria that specialized in nitrate removal. I used it in my very first "reef"I do remember the common use of under gravel filters with a deep sand bed, but I’m not sure if that’s what the Jaubert system is.

I tried a fuge when I first started and found it difficult to get the flow right and grow chaeto. I built an algae scrubber and had a lot more success. I still prefer the approach of letting nature do what it does and use that to the tank’s advantage rather than adding reactors.I wonder if refugiums are being phased out by algae scrubbers. They fill a similar role.
Made with a biodegradable plastic by chance?Called the biomplast, with all its nooks, crannies, and anaerobic chambers it's perfect for harboring all the microflora and microfauna found in the oceans. Guaranteed to revitalize your reef tank.
Agreed, check out the latest issue of Coral Magazine.Considering the word biome is being used currently.....I think not. Time to dust off my copy of Dynamic Aquaria.
