After reading how good this stuff is, even in an ordinary canister filter I thought I’d try it some time ago.
It’s been in a couple of my filters now and it seems to work ok, I’ve certainly not had any livestock or plant issues over the past year or so that I’ve been using it. The only downside for me is that this stuff floats and it’s a bit of a pain when it comes to filter cleaning time. It seems to get everywhere. As a result I’m slowly replacing it with Siporax which I was using before. I got a bag of Siporax sintered glass media with one of my filters and it seems to work well enough.
I think perhaps the larger plastic media by Ziss and others may be a bit more user friendly in canisters. As an alternative you could put the small stuff in a bag but I was concerned about a reduction of flow doing this so I generally avoid bags if I can.
Just a heads up for anyone thinking of trying it. 😉
