So I'm taking the plunge and upgrading to a larger tank. I recently bought a XP2 to go with a 40- 50 gallon sized tank. Im looking at all the different types of media.
For Bio media Ive read accounts of Lava rock, Diced up drinking straws, little green army men... I work at Michaels Arts and Crafts so I am always thinking of all the products and what I could use in my aquarium
this idea hit me here at home so I dont even know if we sell these ( ill have to look) but one could put alot of these in a filter...http:/http://www.northernleisure.com.au/Images/starsbg.jpg
(if you are unfamiliar with them they are cheap plastic beads for kids to make necklaces and jewelry out of, a type of pony bead)
any thoughts? Id image they'd need to be well contained and not get lodged in the impeller
