They actually are better than ceramic rings and such simply because they don't clog as fast... there are a million reasons why Scrubbies are sold out in every Dollar Store in North America....MFK is the main one thoughfishoverlivingspace;2381477; said:Its obvious that they're cheaper, but they don't ACTUALLY have a larger surface area than aquarium medias do they? Bioballs I can see, but ceramic rings? ehfisubstrat? I don't buy it...
Still obviously the best way to go for a large sump as far as affordability goes, as its obvious that they do make good filter media
