I wonder how the microfauna of the tank is effected by the filter paper, with its small micron size. I think that should also be taken into account as far as the health of the tank. Biodiversity is important and all the worms and pods and such are beneficial to the tank.
I don't think our eyes are particularly good as the sole tool to assess tank health. Sure, po4 and no3 may be lower, but you can achieve that other ways.
How about the people who cut holes on their socks because they feel it filters too much? I believe @Diesel does, and has a very successful, beautiful tank...
If Crystal clear water is the goal, you can also use a little ozone, or carbon could help.
I see the point of it but don't think it's necessarily the best thing since sliced bread..
