media

Another question I have is about chemical filtration. Most of what I have ready suggests that it's not nessisary and can even take nutrients out of the water. My filter already has mechanical sponge, bio foam, bio media. But on the upper baskets it comes pre supplied with carbon and polishing...

So, I was recently provided with some of Brightwell's Xport media to try. I have had a horrible problem keeping my 100 gallon tank looking good. Admittedly, it's where many fish get put while I get another tank setup for them so it's often overstocked with a mish-mash of fish. It also has a lot...

What bio media do you use? I've been doing a lot of research on what bio media to put in the new filters for my 135, I'm just wondering what everyone is using and if you like it?

Hey Guys, I'm trying to reseed some filters and want to know if anyone has used anything locally available from a hardware store as filter media. I vaguely recall seeing some thin plastic fibrous mats as well as some sort of poly foam and I believe I've heard of them being used somewhere here...

Since it is 2 am and I cant sleep I may as well be productive and find out some information. My new 75 gal tank stand is almost completed. My next part of the project is to get my DIY filter up and running. I plan on creating a trickle filter from a rubbermaid tub and a plastic drawer set...

I started using it like 2 months ago. The next day i used it got my water crystal clear. But i am worried that it will eliminate some trace or necesary elements in the water for my cichlids. Has anyone had any problems with this media or knows more about it? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using...

I went in town to get pfs for my new tank. Lowe's doesn't have it. No surprise. First pool supply store only had brown, and it clumped big time. Next pool place had no sand, but did have something called Glass Media. They wouldn't let me open the bag to 'give it the rub'. So I came home empty...

What media do you use for AquaClear filters and how do you set it up? The standard instruction for inserting media in an AquaClear filter is to: A) insert foam B) insert carbon pack C) insert ammonia remover pack or Bio-Max. How do you set up your media in the AquaClear filters?

Picked up a 2017 and a 2013 for $20 for the pair today. All there except for the media, so, who's done this and what do you recommend? Have a some ceramic rings and a couple liters of Ehfi balls (or whatever their pricey lava-type medium is called) and a bag of filter floss. Any advice on...

i am looking to see what various media configurations individuals are using on their Eheims? i am currently running a couple of 2236s and 2028s with the default media configurations. i ran across a site about a month ago that talked about various configs with pros and cons but i have not been...

I bought 2 used Aquaclear 110's. They haven't been used in over a year. How should I sanitize the sponge block and ceramic rings?

I've got an FX5 coming from ebay to set up on my 180G :)! I just wanted to poll those who have them to see what you use for media in the filter. I have heard that Seachem pond matrix is a good option for bio, but I have never used it. Let me know what you guys are using. Jon
