Poly filter pad.

[Terry]

Please let me know if this is a good idea. I have an extra air pump and stone. The tank is a little cloudy. I am thinking of getting the Polly pad , cutting it to size, and seal it around the air stone to polish my water. Should i throw it away when it gets dirty, or rinse and repeat since it should have beneficial bacteria.

 

thank you all.

You'd get more use out of wrapping a sponge filter. You need some uplift to accomplish the fine polishing you're looking for.

All I see happening is filtering the air coming out of the air stone. If you have a tube that the stone can fit inside, with a little room to spare, putting the floss pad over the bottom would provide some filtration.

Thanks cory, what should I wrap it with ? Just cut open the poly gab and wrap it around the sponge filter ?

What type of filter(s) do you currently use? Im  sure we can figure something out. Poly pads are meant to be disposable, sponge pads are reusable.

Hello Will Billy : I have a sponge filter also.Cory mentioned wrapping it with a poly pad filter so as to polish the water before it enters the spong.

 

I found an article on the website regarding this.

 

thanks
