Pot scrubbies as biomedia

[Monsterpleco]

I just got some pot scrubbies that i am almost sure are soap free at the dollar store. I was wondering how i could use them in my filters? Can i put them in my whisper 30? How about my canister filter?

I use them in place of ceramic rings/bio balls. They can work anywhere you can cram them in an HOB, or depending on what size canister, in the section you use for biomedia.

thanks for all the replies guys
I am upgrading my 25 gallon lights and substrate and was wondering how i could upgrade my whisper 30 HOB, cause I'm tired of filter cartridges.
Some Newbie Questions for ya:
I was wondering how many scrubbies i should put it the filter and how often i should change them?
Is there a reason why i would ever need to change them, other than rinsing them when they get clogged?
what other media should i put in it to have good filtration?

I just rinse mine off once in a while.... the crud flushes right out of them easy if they have any crud in them.

You can only rinse them out if your water isn't chlorinated, which I doubt. You could take some tank water in a bucket and then slosh them around in there, and give them a couple of squeezes to get the excess junk out and your bacteria will be fine.

Exactly. I am going to use scrubbies in my wetdry for my 240. You don't change them out either.
