Whats In Your Aquaclear?

[ravekiss]

TO those who use Aquaclear HOB Power Filters...the unit comes with a Filter Sponge, A Carbon Pack and a Biomax Pack. I've noticed a lot of people on this forum uses different materials in their filters. What do you use as filter media?

I use what they come with. Aquaclear r by far my fravoiest filter of all beside spongefilter for fry.

I have regular sponge stuff, and a carbon sack in mine, I like Aquaclear, my water is never dirty or cloudy(due to problems with filter, not my laziness lol) and it always provides good aeration. I've never had a problem. I run an Aquaclear 200 (i know, too big) and I'm happy it will still work great on my upgrade tank.

I use 2 sponges Biomax and filter floss. I cut one of the sponges to squeeze everything in. I don't bother with carbon, unless I want to get rid of meds. I just started using the Biomax, but I'm not sure if it really helps as much as they say it does.

I just use a regular carbon cartridge and a sort of sponge in my filter. My favorite brand of filter would have to be Penguin, though; I have one penguin that has lasted me for more than a decade, and it still works pretty well.

I think its really good comparing to the other filters I've had in the past...IMO

I have an aquaclear with two sponges and filter floss where the carbon usually goes.

I have 7 filters from Aqua Clear, 4 Aqua Clear 200's, 1 aqua clear 300, and 2 aqua clear 500's.

I use 2 sponges in each, no ohter filter media.

 

[freddyk]

I also use nothing but sponge

 

[Annastasia]

Yep, same here. Sponge, and when I need to remove meds or tannins, I stick in the carbon for a bit.
