The first one is irregular shaped. The second one is cylindrical shape.
I like the second one better because it doesn't have many broken pieces. And they say it has more surface area. -------------------- Know fish or No fish

Sorry Ken, the Pro is spherical (ball shape), not cylindrical.
It is better than the first type. I don't know about thsoe other 2 products. This is also very good, http://www.aquaticeco.com/subcategories/2636/Siporax -------------------- Know fish or No fish

Why not just use coral chips?
You get both biofiltration and calcium leaching. ![4_12_12[1].gif](http://www.flowerhorncraze.com/style_emoticons/default/4_12_12[1].gif)

I would pack the W&D in the following order from bottom to top: Coral chips, Siporax, "that black course pad", bioballs, black course pad again, felt, and cover with perforated plexi glass with 3/8" holes 1/2" apart.
