Default LECA base layer, Hydroton vs. Terra-Lite
Hi, folks. I'm looking to go ahead and order some LECA for my 55 gallon vivarium project, and I've encountered a bit of a dilemma.

According to Black Jungle, Terra-lite is superior to Hydroton. They say Terra-lite is a the cleanest, strongest, and most uniform of the various LECA products out there.

Can anyone confirm or deny this through experience? I tend to like joshsfrogs.com, their prices are better and they have a good variety of other products like cork bark flats, but they carry Hydroton. If it's really a lower quality, then I'll drop a couple extra bucks at Black Jungle for Terra-lite, but I'm suspicious of their claims. Is all LECA alike, or does quality vary significantly?

Thanks,

Kook!
