Yes. I agree. Just wanted a second opinion though I will have to use new media as the old sat static for 5 days

Thank you

Sorry to highjack but what are hydrotons? Are these fine grainy stuff that can take care of the work that LR does?

Hydroton is expanded clay balls. About 1.5 cm across. Used in hydroponic gardening. The are very porus.

I use low flow (50gph) through reactor. Ill get a pic for u in a min

Awesome. Thanks

I once saw a grainy brown stuff in someone's reactor and he said that those things work 100 times better than LR but he couldn't remember the name so thought it might be hydroton.
