First, please no anti-biorb posts. I understand their many downfalls compared to a traditional tank, yet we have one and are going to use it again.
My intro is here if you're interested.
Biorbs - they come with the media (rocks), but I'm wondering who does/doesn't use that?
We had the biorb media on the bottom and then a layer of red gravel on top for over a year and never had any water quality issues. The only issue that we needed to be careful of is the small pieces of gravel getting into the filter/etc while changing it. I cleaned out the whole tank last night and there were little gravel pieces UNDER the filter housing - it was a huge pain to take off the bottom to get them out but now it's all back together and sparkly once again.
Thanks for your input...
