Kimberlee Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Isn't this a loofa? Not 100% sure, but I think I can get the same thing at Fred Meyers for 4.99. http://stores.aquaculturenurseryfarms.com/-strse-316/POD-HAVEN-4%22/Detail.bok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlee Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Forgot if you look at the manufacturer it is NA, I think they are buying them at Fredi's and marking up the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPaquatics Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 They are a modifed sponge filter with a loofa like material. When you combine sponge filter parts and material, its not that bad of an idea. I wouldnt put just a loofa into my tanks. It would be a nitrate/phosphate sink.

Arminius Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 You can get them for a dollar at Ross and the DollarTree...it actually seems like a good idea. They even come in all those designer colors! Scam on $.50 worth of pvc and a scrunchee scrubber...took me awhile to see the price...holy cow!! 20 bucks!!!! geez...

badxgillen Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 isnt this in effect a sponge filter that would create some nitrates as stated earlier? Is there something in the biological process that removes the nitrates developed by the filter in the filter? Only time will tell.Looks like its a trip to the dollar store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
