Well... I have a powerhead that's diffusing co2 right now (broke my glass one) and I'm deciding between turning it off and leaving it on. Also I'm looking at my filter (emperor 280 cartridge and the second one with a 100 micron pad) and it seems like the particles are too small to get filtered out. It's been around 10ish days. I'm not sure how and if it's true, but I think that the suspended particles are also causing a green algae bloom (also it could be caused because of the changing substrates) but I also set up a 10 gallon shrimp tank, with a sponge filter, and it never got cloudy. I'm thinking of it as a "control" since the second batch of Turface wasn't 100% clean. One of my teacher's mottos is "I work my butt off right now so I can be lazy later". I just think it'd be better to get it out of the way. Otherwise I think I like this alot better than sand or pea gravel. It sinks quickly, looks natural, and is overall a good choice imo.
