really good article,

apparently biowheels aren't as bad for co2 as people think, and he also doesn't acclimate his fish. seems like a good way to kill all my neons

I seldom acclimate mine either. I figure they're more stressed in that bag than in a dark tank. Never lost one yet. I have heard of the hazards of drip-acclimating before but really didn't have a good explanation. He gave a rather detailed view of it.

I had hoped for a more detailed report on bio-spira as I've read it's supposed to go in the tank the day before the fish go in. According to what I've read, it doesn't work once ammonia levels are too high.

All in all, I found it interesting.
