Pumps are expensive and even fine particulate will cause more wear on a pump than no particulate at all, over time.
THAT is some great info. I only have a few "rooters" for this test (I talked the hydro shop into selling me 6 as opposed to the 50 pack tray) and will be able to switch easily to the rockwool cubes.

Thank you much!
