Strategically, Jeff, strategically.

LECA in bottom, until it just covers reservoir hole. Handful or two of rock wool, more LECA, handful or two of rock wool, more LECA, then a bit of a mix at top. Still doing about 75% LECA and 25% rock wool by volume.

In other words, using the rock wool in some layers just to keep the wicking going upward. Just gut instinct, no actual science involved. I leave that up to others. But hey, it's working!
