Regular Member stech Posted March 2, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2015 What are good optional mechanical foams to use at bottom layer of tray for Aquaclear HOB? Trying to save some cost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mikey Posted March 2, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I always use the original foam Intended at the bottom and then I use marineland blue/white padding followed by a micron pad on top of that and then the bio moduals. What do you mean save cost? The foam is fairly cheap and reusable. Just ring it out every couple of weeks and it's good as new. I only replace my sponge when it starts to fall apart.

Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted March 2, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2015 I agree. Your new filters will come with the foam/sponge. Use it and rinse every couple of weeks. I've had mine for well over a year and haven't replaced them . . . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Chai Posted March 2, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2015 I passed my Aquaclear sponges onto my Fluval canister. Perfect rough debris sponge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
