Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / April 2004Fluval "Biomax Rings"
According to my empty package of them it's time to replace the ones in my filter, but I can't find them anywhere! Did Fluval discontinue them? What should I use instead? Found this at the mfr's website http://www.hagen.com/usa/ponds/product.cfm?CAT=30&SUBCAT=3007&PROD_ID=03005600020101 Laguna PowerFlo Underwater Filter BioMax Filter Media. It has a picture too. I've never seen them in a store though. According to my empty package of them it's time to replace the ones in my filter, but I can't find them anywhere! Did Fluval discontinue them? What should I use instead? Petco sells those, though when I bought some, I dont believe they were listed as biomax filter media, but more along the lines of some other brands name and ceramic glass bio rings. I bought a couple bags of them for a couple aquariums. You really shouldnt be replacing them at all in reality. They hold the beneficial bacteria that you want, so maybe once in a while, just rinse them out in your water that you pull out of your tank during a water change (Do NOT rinse them in untreated tap water else the chlorine will kill off the bacteria). They work on the same principle as biowheels, and substrates, they have a huge surface area for the bacteria to adhere to for the realitive small size of each piece. > Found this at the mfr's website http://www.hagen.com/usa/ponds/product.cfm?CAT=30&SUBCAT=3007&PROD_ID=03005600020101 > Laguna PowerFlo Underwater Filter BioMax Filter Media.

Call your local one and ask if they have them in stock, you call also call Hagen and ask them for the distributor for your area. > Petco sells those, though when I bought some, I dont believe they were > listed as biomax filter media, but more along the lines of some other brands [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > Found this at the mfr's website http://www.hagen.com/usa/ponds/product.cfm?CAT=30&SUBCAT=3007&PROD_ID=03005600020101 > > Laguna PowerFlo Underwater Filter BioMax Filter Media.

What should I use instead? These folks (among others) say they carry them: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?siteid=6&pCatId=3609 I have not done business with this company, other people have reported satisfactory results. Try google search for biomax rings.  Signature- Charles - -does not play well with others |
