salt water filter media

[ashcarter89]

hi guys , i was just wondering if is safe to use filter media that has been used in a salt water set up , which is going to be very well cleaned by myself. just dont know if there will be any organisms which will cause me problems in my planted set up .Any pointers will help me , thanks

Should be fine as long as its rinsed thoroughly and boiled to kill off any possible nasties mate.

Ha ha yeah don't I know it lol. If not you can always settle for something like Alfa grog etc if you didn't fancy the cleaning etc.
