Lead strips are outdated and risky. If you need weights, go for ceramic or stainless steel. They're safer and won't mess with your water params.

Agreed. Ceramic weights are the way to go. They're inert and won't affect your tank's chemistry. Just make sure they're not too tight around the stems.

I'll look into ceramic weights and maybe switch to Eco-Complete. Appreciate all the advice!
