Hi everyone I was wondering what people thoughts where to the filter media in the Tetratex filters. And if people have changed the media what did the use? Any tips or info be great.

I've cycled mine now its four month old (600). But I wanted to remove the sponges. my lfs sells this Seachem Matrix 250ml. I was going to use half to replace the sponges, leave it for 8 weeks then replace the the bio balls with the other half would this work?AdAndrews said:I have 2 ttex filters, the 600 and the 1200. I used the original filter media that came with it, although, i kinda wish i hadnt, but as i have cycled now, theres not too much point in changing, swapping the bio rings for some sera siporax would be my choice...

Does not matter what type of media you have within the filter unit it will reduce the flow of water.
