Best cheap bio-media

[rottbo]

what I do is just every couple weeks stop by the dollar stores and buy them out I usually only spend 10-15 bucks but everyonce inawhile I spend alot more depends on what they have.. this way I dont have to go out and try to find them all at once plus budget wise its much better.. I like it this way to because then I just add alittle more media all the time allowing bacteria to partially colonize the new stiff before I pt mroe in

I went to Big lots last night and bought all 17 (6 packs) of pot scrubbers they had at .79 cents each pack. The cashier ask WTF I was doing with em. Told her, the manager over hear and said he has at least another case of the in back. So I set up a wet/dry on my 65g piranha tank, used 53 srubbies total. Biggest problem I had was arranging the so the colors would look cool.

are pot scrubbers effective submerged??? i thought it was good for wet/dry...???

I heard this somewhere too, there only useful for wet&Dry.

In the past, I have used plastic drinking straws. Cut them up into 1/2"-1" sizes. Worked really well, and cheap. Just got to spend time cutting them up

They work great submerged too.

Their efficiency doesn't change under water.

Thanks for the clarification Dr Joe! Saved me a redesign on my sump as half of my scrubbies are submerged.
