We also have a DoIt Best Hardware here http://doitbest.com/Scouring+Pads-Do+it+Best+Imports-model-10044-doitbest-sku-632989.dib

Does that translate?

Translate to what?

We have "The Warehouse" which is like walmart [all sorts of general cheap crap] and "Bunnings Warehouse" which is all sorts of cheap hardware/gardening/DIY/household kinda stuff. I couldn't find those things at either of them. Maybe I should import them and sell them as a cheap substitute for bioballs or ehiem media, I could make a fortune!


I found out that my two boxes of bioballs went a lot further than expected, so only had to use about half as much pumice as I thought I would. I'll just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesnt get too clogged.

You could chop up 10,000 plastic drinking straws (a member on here has done it and worked well) and make a moving bed filter.

I use eheim ceramic rings in the bottom of my wet/dry and it has workrd perfect for several years now.
