Hi all :) I've read about Styrofoam beads being used as media in a moving bed application. The beads used had a really high amount of surface area. Could I use bean bag filler as long as it doesn't have any additives like flame retardant or anti molds? Will it work the same? Thanks again guys :)

Probs not mate! Its crap! The best stuff on the cheap is scrungies
 
Lol, thanks. I've kind of abandoned the idea for now. Every so often, I tinker with ideas. Yes, love scrubies! Especially at 8 for $1 :)
