I had been interested in getting a pair of true percs but I'm hearing a little about them being particular about hosting. True perc owners what insight can you give me? Is there a better option if the hosting thing is improtant?
Thanks

oops, they host those too lol. come to think of it, they would probly host a rock, if that was all in the tank lol
