There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Good product, but can be a little pricey for what they are especially if you need to order several boxes, but there aren't too many alternatives available. Recommended!
Besides the weight on the larger bio media, it does a great job. There is a lot of surface area for bacteria to grow only down side was mine came pretty smooth and the more porous the more bacteria so I had to scuff them up a bit.
I do video reviews for products and will be doing some video reviews and head to head tests of BIO media by testing bacteria film on surface area and putting fluvals products against the famous K1 media and other ceramic media.
I tried contacting Fluval to get some of their other smaller media to do the review on but I still have not gotten an e-mail response back so we will see.
