Yes, HF beads in that pic. I'm not using the beads now as I didn't feel I had enough beads at 1 lb., so I'm back on kitty litter for now. That seems to be working fine, so I'll probably stay with it as long as it still works.
I have the standard combo of a Newair 280 with drawers from Forrest. My only regret is I didn't go for something more exciting like bloodwood or tiger eye maple with unicorn horn accents. Oh well...I think I'll go crazy on the 2nd one. I have a few boxes in the bottom as well as 2 lbs of 65% HF beads. I also have beads spread throughout in the drawers. Other than a minor issue a few months ago the thing is just rock solid on rh/temp and basically maintenance free.
