bio media for pond

[fish_master2000]

hye i was wondering if i could use those plastic scubies for bio media for my pond, i plan on having two 55g drums filled with it, it work or not?

Yes that will work, but how much bio filtration you need depends upon your fish load. Two 55 gallon drums filled with scrubies should be good for fairly heavy fish loads.

it will work but i feel unless you can really find the scrubbies in big bulk it will be almost as expensive as some commercial pond media.

Scrubbies are working well for my pond. To get them in bulk.
