I used to use arm in my GEO, thats what he recommended at the time.

I didnt like it. it turns to mush if you drop the ph too low. also, becuase of its small size, it tends to not to get the greatest circulation thru the media, instead it forms "channels" .

I think GEO now reccommends Shuran media now anyway. which is what I have been using for about the last 2yrs. I highly reccommend it becuase of the large size allows good water flow.
