James Purchase, who is not alone in this, recommended for the added
filtration of planted, properly (?) stocked tanks:

Well I have the book part down.  ;-)

Are (some) folks suggsting that, in a sump setup, if some biofiltering
was needed due to fish load, instead of bioballs, foam would be a good
substitute?  Or that a Penquin powerhead with a RUGF sponge (sans the
RUGF, of course) would be a good biofilter substitute for a sump with
balls?
