No idea? I'm kidding, I replaced the PFS last weekend with Caribsea's sunset gold which looks fantastic but I'm going through a huge bacterial bloom so it's super milky. I can already see some size and coloration improvement over the last couple weeks, once it settle's I'll do a thread.
Well as of this morning I'm done with sand with substrate spitting cichlids. Tired of waking up to stalled out impellers and sand filled filters. Guess I'm going to change to pea gravel.
