    YouTube flash in your pan dream mat

    I'm not sure if this is an April fools joke on not but on YouTube the poster flash in your pan seems to have gotten hold of some new dream mats. The cells are a lot smaller and more of them. Said to be better on smaller gold.

    Just wanting to know if anyone has used it? How did it go? Did it clog easy? I'm thinking of buying it depending on reviews or should I just buy some plumbing check valves and modify it myself.
