guest 11 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 arent bioballs most effective in a wet/dry sump or trickle sump?? id either go for scoria or coral noodles depending on what ph u want to keep your water at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest 11 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 or a mass amount of purigen or macropore if you can afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVS969 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah Bio balls are best in a wet dry, Scoria can be bought from Stone Merchants on Archerfield Rd. I would just go Scoria and Matrix and not worry about the balls or noodles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobraven Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yer scoria round here i just get from a landscape supplies pick out some smaller sizes bit of overkill with nooodles and matrix? just pick one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremit Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 $2 rolls of gutter guard from bunnings, wash them really well, throw them in rolled up (without the zip ties/sticky tape/twist ties) water flows through it well, plenty of surface area, and cheap. Not a bad alternative for bio balls and cheap... What a lot of the commercial breeders are using nowdays, even a petshop i know off.. did I mention its cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
