Bio-Ball vs. Bio-Bale media in wet/dry

Never tried...but waaaayyyy more expensive than the bio-balls i get at Big Al's around my place. The key is surface, so both will do the same job in my opinion. I would not spend more for this stuff.
I've used both. They both work well. Bio-bale has more surface area than bio balls, so technically it should be able to handle more bioload.
If you want an effective wet/dry media without spending alot of $$$'s, try nylon pot scrubbers. I get them from Big Lots, 6 pack for $.79.

Great link Bizdaddy!! Thanks for that!!!
Looks like the pot scrubbers has a ton of surface area. Hmm... something to look into.

I will stuff some in my sump!
This whole nylon thing got me thinking of either a diy sump or an empty wet/dry system to try and save money. Are there places out there that sell sumps without media for a cheaper cost?
I say if you want to go for cheap, build your own. That is what I am doing on the 300g I will be building this summer in my basement. More work, but less $$$$...less $$$$ means more fish
