I currently run a 180 timeout tank for my rays. I am running a wet/dry with filter pads and a drip tray over bio balls. I would prefer to change to a filter sock sump system but most need submersible media. Saw an interesting use for bio on a members thread, but was wondering what everyone else uses or could suggest would be the best media to use. Thanks.
Best Submersible Bio Media?

Get as much as you can into the available space you have basically. I used a whole bag of K3. Can't remember how much but it was about the size of a 20kg bag of dog food, loads of the stuff. Its bigger than K1 and does not get everywhere else in your sump.Works a treat once it's established and lost a bit of bouyancy.
I dont have a sump so i have these diy k1 acrylic tubes. I also added marinepure spheres on the bottom of the tube and have stacked a few sponge filters. Not sure if they are the best media though.

Thanks guys for the responses. Yes, I am hoping to keep this running full time. It has a lone male in there now, hoping to eventually breed and put pregnant females in there and then hopefully pups. I don't like the current system as I wasn't able to get to it for a couple days due to surgery and it overflowed onto floor. Might sock system just overflowed into the sump.
