Goliad Farms

I've always been a 'cheerleader' for routine partial water changes. But at Goliad Farms in South Texas, there are no filters except for PLANTS in his greenhouse system he does top offs only. Check out the Aquarium Co Op video in this Goliad Farms Tour.

Wow! That was so cool! I assume they are in Goliad, TX. Would love to visit it.

We all recognize the potential of growing plants (especially fast growing floating plants) to aid in water purification... and Charles has taken it to the extreme in his greenhouses. It's unlikely we could have plants like that coming out of our aquariums...although I have a few (water sprite plants going strong) in my 110g stock tank w/sump:

That's really cool. Doesn't pothos have intense filtration capabilities?
Also, you know how legumes have little nodules where they grow nitrifying bacteria? It'd be cool if someone could figure out a way to get that going in some sort of filter media.
