Hi all
I was just considering filter floss/wool and would like to ask the members about their views on this filter media
I currently use Tetratec ex filters which come with the "flat square filter floss pad" - I rinse this when I clean the filter but this is really worse for wear, stained etc now and I think it needs a change
This got me thinking about 4 questions I would like to put to the members;
1) Is it best to use the branded Tetra floss pads or could someone recommend a more ecomonical or more efficient floss? (any links to products that members use would be great if thats ok)
2) Do the majority of members even use filter floss in their externals or do you believe it to be unnecessary?
3) Could filter floss help prevent diatoms in any way?
4) Does the filter floss impact greatly / negatively on flow achieved (especially when dirty) - I'm pretty sure it must do - what are your thoughts?
Ok all, Thanks for reading and any replies would be appreciated
