Stole mine from kitchen cabinet, not sure why we had 36 packages tho...

Haven't seen them at Dollar General here in 4 months (6/$1). and biglots (6/$.79) are getting erratic.

Pot scrubbies...which type are you guys talking about? I used to do the dishes at a restaurant and have come across all sorts of different designs and colours. Which type would be hte best? The rectangular type or like a ball shape thing. Can you guys post a picture of it?

Bio Balls and Scrubbies are for wet/drys and canisters. If you are using HOBs and having 0 ammonia and nitrite, you are doing fine.
