lr3 is stable in aa and ba...I prefer ba..the factory specs were ba,ba will not freeze and the results are so good why change....the fact is if you put china stuff in ba it will get cloudy....gropep will turn clear....people have there reasons for being pro this and pro that....not many people are willing or able to buy a k of lr3..but all you have to do is ask anyone who has tried my recon..it removes all doubt...Best of luck with research ..I've seen some interesting research on lizards..the whole tail thing is mind blowing..
