[APD] RE: Barr method the "only method" for CO2 enriched,high light tanks?

["Carlos Sanchez" <tsunamicarlos at hotmail_com>]

I beg to differ that your way is the only method available for high light
CO2 enriched tanks. One of the (but not the _only_) AGA contestant
winners is _very successful_ by using his own method. Incredibly high
light (at least 4w/g power compact, usually higher), no N or P dosing, high
K+/Fe/micros dosing, weekly water changes, fertile substrate. His plants
are far and away the best I have ever received. And I have received plants
from MANY people (including you... from which I got dwarf lobelia and 
hottonia).
I am not saying his way is the better way, but obviously there is something 
to be
said that there isn't one _best_ way judging by the quality of his tanks and 
health
of his plants.
