You mean Hydroballs? They are basically the same as Hydroton, only require a bit more rinsing and are darker. :confused: I like the way those look better, honestly. Both Hydroballs & Hydroton are an expanded clay substrate... I don't really see the difference. I'll take ZM Hydroballs over gravel any day.
I agree that they look so much better than the red hydroton, very natural, just wish they were cheaper. The smaller size makes them great for adding to substrates also.
Anyone got a product that was a waste of money?
