HI ALL,
I HAVE A FLUVAL 4 PLUS FILTER ON MY CICHLIFD TANK AND WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE NEW OF ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD USE OTHER THAN THE EXISTING PADS FROM FLUVAL.
I WAS THINKING OF CUTTING UP SCOTHBRITE PADS, BUT THEY HAVE SMALL TRACE ELEMENTS OF SILICON CARBIDE AND ALUMINIUM OXIDE - IS THIS HARMFUL TO THE FISH. WHITE TYPE T PADS HAVE TALCUM POWDER IN THEM BUT NO MINERALS - I FIGURE IF I SOAK THEM IN MILTON FLUID AND RINSE THEM WILL THEY BE A GOOD FILTER - THEY ARE A MUCH CHEAPER VERSION NOF THE PADS FLUVAL SUPPLY.
CAN ANYONE LET ME KNOW IF THEY USE ANYTHING ELSE - I AM 100% SURE THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE USING SUBSITUTE MEDIA BUT CANNOT FIND ANY POSTS ON THE NET
THANKS IN ADVANCE
