    I too bought a bag the other day (Just seen I bought standard :) ),so also in the early stages of testing ... It suppose to have a much larger surface area compared to noodles

    remember not to be a plonker like me ..Do it bit by bit ..
    I changed mine last Saturday and been doing daily changes ,I tested mine last night and was still normal a day later ..... Going to test again today to see if I am still OK.... I only bought a small bag so might buy another and end up completely removing all noodles

    Anymore updates on this stuff as I'm quite interested to see how good it is? 

    I've heard reports that its quite brittle and sometimes shatters.

    It is very brittle and you must get your mechanical filtration spot on or it clogs up the media been running mine now for two months no problems. I'm now running a second tray in my external with perlite up to now I think it's better than the biohome media and a fraction of the cost. :) :)
