Would this sketch shed any light at all on a example of sudden carbon abundance in a tank to understand step 1?
Stable system:
stable system after organic carbon addition:
correction of the nutrient ratio in the event of the additional carbon had a natural occurrence:
microbes in this sketch means all different bacteria that lives in our systems including nitrifying and heterotrophic.
this diagram/sketch represents my hole thinking that knowing how ratios work can be very helpful to the hobby with the ratio having direct affect on residual unused nutrient, the only way I can see now to be wrong is for someone to show me that the top diagram doesn’t exist in our system, as I strongly believe that that’s how our systems work, not knowing the absolute values of the diagram doesn’t mean that they not there imo.
This discussion really comes down to this sketch existence or not. Knowing that exists and we can move forward to a more constructive and enlightened conversation about nutrient, tell me that I’m making things up and we finally prove that redfield doesn’t exist in our hobby at list.
