Hey All,
I recently acquired a 1 month old fluval 305 for $50. Guy had to sell his tanks and equipment due to the spousal unit getting tired of his fish. His loss is my gain! Anyways, I saw an old post on here about people putting "alternate" media in thier canister filters, but I cant find the post anymore. I know one of the things in the post was about putting those green potscrubbers (scotchbrite) in the lower tray. I stacked the bottom tray with those pads, second tray is floss and carbon, third tray is ceramic rings. I would like to know what other people have used in similair filter setups and what your results were, also, I am curious as to what the primary function of the potscrubbers is....mechanical? Bilogical? Water polishing?
Any and all advice/comments are appreciated!
Thanks,
Shawn
