Any one used Pumice stone
I has being reading on net and was wondering if any one has actually used pumice as bio filter media, pumice is nothing but scrubbing stone generally used by all ladies to remove dead skin, its cheap and readily available.

Re: Any one used Pumice stone
it is super porous, it is same as used by seachem for matrix. They process it and i guss check if there is no impurity in it. There are lot of thread on various sites where they are talking about it, but didnt find any one using it and providing feedback on it. So wanted to know if any one here has used it.

Well I haven't used it, but also read in forums outside that people have used it after thorough cleaning.
Seachem matrix I am also using and loved it quality

Pumice is used readily and is good. only concern is, that it floats so need to have it in bags for better management.

Re: Any one used Pumice stone
Seachem like i said is pretty much the pumice , but in our case u would be using it with shrimp so better play safe.
Bag is not an issue, i will use a net pouch
