Do you mean the hard plastic mesh type of pot scrubber?

I am wearing Zubaz right now..............

Ahhhh, a Fat guys best friend! Next to a free buffett!

Never succumb to peer pressure. That led to me wearing Zubaz in the 80's. LOL

Pot scrubbers are great.

I'm lost on the zubaz lol...
But I'm using Seachem Matrix in my rena xp3 I heard its pretty much the same and EHFisubstrat or whatever.

IMHO pot scrubbers and bioballs have too little surface area. Although they are cheap, they take up so much space for the area provided for bacteria to colonize. I have about 40kg of ceramic media and a lot of that thick black bio sponge (2" thick) in my 4' sump. I'll admit that I do have bioballs, more black sponge and white filter sponge in my overflow, but I've already ordered 3kg of the newest Bacteria House (black one, not even on their site yet) to install a DIY Bakki Shower in my overflow..

so would you just put the pot srubbies in place of the ehristrate in the basket?

I loved Zubaz in the 80's!!! I had a killer Kansas City Chiefs pair.

Now days they call them "lounge pants" or "comfy pants".
