Skimmer Bubble Trap

[smokinjoe2122]

Ok so I have one of those POS Fission Skimmers, and I have ran out of the bubble trap/filter media, and I cannot find anything similar at my LFS so I bought a canister filter sponge block (Fluval 104/105 media) and I am wondering if I can use that in the skimmer as opposed to the other media that is being used. I guess I'd like to know if it's safe since it's not exactly going into a canister filter... Anyone have any idea let me know, otherwise I may just scrap it..

Hi,

I would have said that it will be fine to use as it's intended for aquarium use. As a bubble stop though I would be inclined to use a course sponge rather than a fine one as the fine sponges require more frequent cleaning.
