Magnum Charcoal
What's your favorite bio media for your filter?
I like to experiment with different products. I recently purchased seachem's Matrix bio-media & put it in one of my magnum 350 filters instead of charcoal. I also converted an emperor 400 to all bio-filtration with the stuff + some creative use of a dremmel & airstones. I like it alot but the prospect of buying 4 more tubes of it at $18 a bottle is not something I'm willing to do.
It looks like you could use other stuff in there as well... I was tempted to try lava rock from lowes landscaping section chipped into peices small enough to fit.
Do you have any favorite bio media? It can be commercial or DIY... Just share your experience.
I haven't tried it just yet, but am excited to get some, it is a new product called BIOHOME. It is very hard to find and the only way I know of getting it here in the US is from the net. One of the people on here sells it, his name is bettachris, I will try to leave you links to the sites that describe it.
