A while ago we switched from lead strips to ceramic rings for our bushes. Below you can find some reasons for this switch.

In the first place we have made this change because ceramic rings, unlike lead, are 100% safe for the environment. This is of course of great importance in an aquarium in which fish live.

In addition, the price of lead keeps rising. Given the amount of lead that we were using this was clearly noticeable. Together with the other disadvantages we therefore decided to switch to an alternative; ceramic rings.
