Can you do... what?

Not sure what you're trying to ask.

 

[JGT]

Bioballs in your hang on filter?

 

[FUNGI]

[jdivz87]

Haha sorry yes bio balls instead of that carbon pad or whatever it is

I’m going to be dosing prazi pro and Fritz copper safe soon

You can but you’d be better off with ceramic media vs.Bioballs. More surface area for bacteria to grow.

Biosponge like the white one?

I don't know what the white one is. Biosponges are just any dense sponge sold for the purpose of being bio media

I wouldn't over think / stress too much. You are fine with it, and in fact, I believe the black ones you have open to insert a sponge (they should have come with one)....or just buy some ceramic ones in a pouch...or just leave it alone.....your output sponge is enough....

I read a study recently on here, it was a link on a recent thread about matrix media. And the study found the number 1 item for surface area for bacteria was a normal kitchen pot scrubber

Haha seen these, thanknyou

Yes those above. They actually have more surface area for bacteria than bio balls, rings, ceramic media, sea chem matrix, and almost anything else

Which means great for reefs…and I’ll never use one in my kitchen again
