body scrubbers

[HugeGhost]

Is this something i can use for bio media in my wetdry, maybe even add to ac110! They are on special 2 for 1 dollar!
Also is the loofa sponge also very good. Is this bosy scrubber actually better than ehiem substrate.

The blue & white ones (body scrubbers) will work, but they compact.

You can purchase the material by the yard at cloth (sewing) stores cheaper.

The lufa will deteriorate in constant water (since it's bio-degradable).

Expensive either way.

Can't find pot scrubbers or scrubbies?

Dr Joe pleased to hear from you hope you are well!
I bought 2 liters of matrix i was going to use for the bottom of my wetdry.

Should i use a layer of ehiem substrate instead of matrix?

Then scrubbers, then bioballs.

Should i just toss the bioballs i have alreday and get more scrubbers?

Do you think scrubbers would be better in ac110's or matrix in a bag?

Ok so just buy the different color pot scrubbers i saw them 8 for 1 dollar?
More surface area than 1 dollar for 2 big body scrubbers!

scrubbies will work

Anybody have a list of the stats on all the biomedia!

I know bioballs is 130 and scrubbies 360 or something but is ehiem pro really 18,000! Wouldnt a little ehiem pro in a wetdry blow away all the bioballs and scrubbies combined or am i missing something!

What is your W/D like?

I don't you substrate in most of my W/D's (too much to clean).

Make sure you use a pre-filter over the other media to keep it clean.

If you've got the bio-balls use 'em, they integrate well with scrubbies .

Matrix in a bag is easier to clean in a HOB, just watch out for channeling.

Yes, scrubbies have more surface area than the body scubbers (and don't crush).
