Is there an obvious plus, beyond price, for using these as opposed to issue foam pads?

That's what I read on there. I thought it was cool the author admitted he had been using a ton of different media over the years too. I think it's a common thing, perpetuated by the companies selling stuff. It's a multi billion dollar industry, it didn't get that way on accidentAll explained here for best Filter Media.

Just as an FYI, I replaced ALL my 7 liters of Matrix in my 75 gallon Cichlid tank (now all community fish) in my canister and HOB at the same time. Using 10/20 ppi foam and pot scrubbers. I wanted to test the authors data, and it worked. I tested ammonia twice a day for 5 days and never had an ammonia spike after finding out the new media will get cycled in hours... and it did.Sounds like a plan, Charley. My mats are the same as yours, but I can't replace my ceramics. I'd be brokenhearted after all the reviewing and hopes for a resistant, long lasting bio-filter component. As usual, we'll see.

Haha haha!What an amazing a comprehensive testing procedure. I wish I’d have bought shares in plastic pot scrubbies. This is going to be a wild ride.

Good morning! Wow! That's great... your right. Customer service like that is sadly dying away
Unfortunately I have to agree with you. Shame
