    What is good polishing media???

    I need to know what is the best suggestions for "polishering" media. I have Aquaclear 110's that I could use...or I have an Eheim 2262 that I could use. I would prefer using the 110's as the polisher, because they are easier to clean. I need something to catch all of the fine particles in the water. Would like a fine filter pad cut to fit for the 110 work?

    Besides using a purigen pillow in your AC110.....I would say using a Mag Hot unit would be the next best way to polish your tanks water.

          I have been using 50 micron cut to fit FELT sheets in my Emperor 400s.

          He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                +1... that is what I use. Quilt batting is finer than the "blue and white stuff" and is only white. Cheap too.

                  I would not use the 2262 as a polisher, way too much flow and a lot more troublesome in cleaning.

                  The 110's would be perfect with Micron Pad and Filterfloss (quilt batting).
