For folks that have kept an anemone or clam knows when they die its a mess for the tank. If you don't remove the dead animal, it will pollute the water and cause all kind of problem. With the Hiatt system dead anemone or clam is not a problem, the dead can rot in the tank all day, the ammonia will not spike, nor you will smell its odor from the water because there is no odor. I feed my angel and butterfly clams every day, even if they don't finish I left the clam in the tank all day, would you dare to do that would your tank?

I'm also not sure I understand how bacteria can decompose things that quickly? Theres bound to be some die-off right?

Sorry to hijack, but would you care to elaborate?

I didnt mean to be agressive and hassle you, but you dont really elaborate in your site.
