Thanks for the explanation Mindy, Berlin is so old school now
Does that mean any bio-medias can work cause they are definitely more porous than LR, Why not buy something cheap like:

rather than the more expensive and hard to get Siporax? Is it proved Siporax work much better than other bio-medias, if so how much better?
