| Just purchased 50lbs. bag of this stuff from Northern Tool for $8.99. It is going in Jens 125(red125). Pics to come once we finish the swap. We have a bunch of fish who love to dig along with the suncat and tiger loatch. We will give an opinion on it in a few months.  The grade is 30-70 |

| I still love mine. Had it for nearly two months now and no issues. Very easy to clean before and during use. As for the diggers, I would probably recommend some eggcrate or a good base to keep any rocks from tumbling. My Sunshines and German Reds have been digging and rearranging with no problems. Sure makes a pretty substrate. Have not seen slightest problem with Bushynose Pleco either. Just bought from Mark this AM a Spotted Rubbernose and adding him/her to the tank. Curious with that big mouth how it will do. (Not Mark's the Rubbernose)...lol

| We just finished doing the 125 yesterday. It is a mixture of red and black. The last half of the 125 was this stuff. Getting ready to shoot a video of the tank and upload it to YouTube. |
