| Reef Lobster  | Re: replace with rockrubble Where does that bag go exactly? If it goes in a tank then I'd say lose the bag and just toss extra rock in your tank. If it's for a canister filter, I'd say ditch the thing entirely. If improperly maintained, canisters can turn into a nitrate factory. What kind of filtration do you have going on now and for what type of tank? |

| RS Sponsor  | Re: replace with rockrubble Burbs, you could but why? Also, if you do keep it in the bag for easy rinsing and cleaning! I think the bio beads would do just as well if not better. But both will work fine. Remember, keep it clean in the back burbs.

| NaClH2O Addicted   | Re: replace with rockrubble I replaced the media with rubble in a bag, then took that out as well. IMO you don't really need either with sufficient rock in the tank - anything you put in that pump chamber eventually gets plugged up with detritus, bag or no bag, and becomes a nitrate generator. Unless you like removing the pumps and putting your hand down there every month or so.  Just my opinion based on what I found with my RSM.
