Well had been thinking about trying out Easter Grass for mech or bio filter media, and it showed up in the grocery store today at 69 cents per bag. I picked up 2 or 3 bags for kicks, and might try it later on. Reminds me of that eheim stuff. Anyone tried easter grass it as a media before?
EASTER GRASS is showing up...LOL

Well heck, I wasted $2.07, CRAPPPP!!!!
Nah, seriously though, thanks for the heads up. I learn something new every day, even after 20+ years of aquariums myself! By the way, does ehfifix behave the same way, or it it more "rigid"? I don't even need more bio, I just see stuff and think, hmmm, I wonder........
I stopped buying all that over-priced imported stuff. I've had great success, in large W/D applications, using commercial floor stripping pads. I cut them into wedges and random drop them into the bio-chambers. They have a huge amount of surface area and are rigid enough to withstand 5000+ gph flow rates.

Do you think these would work in a wet only sump? I'm going to avoid the pricy stuff in the sump I am presently building. Reviewing a few options now. Thanks.
If you keep the aeration up the pads will work fine in a wet-only setup. My wet chamber was below my degassing stage so, there was plenty of aeration into the wet bin.
