[fishandcandy]

The air pumps are for bubble walls, bubbles stones, etc.
Biomedia is for biological filtration. Little bacteria live in them and eat waste, etc.

[CRUSHH]

[marisa]

They are types of biomedia that are put in filters for beneficial bacteria to colonize on.

The biomedia for the 110 is at the bottom of the page.

I have an Aquaclear 110... I use the carbon and ammonia packets. You can also use ceramic rings/stars. I've never had a problem using just what came with the filter and I've had it for nearly a year now.

[CRUSHH]

okkkk i get it nowww...thanks everyone i really appreciate your help;-)

[marisa]

Crushh, didn't you get any media with your Aquaclear?

[CRUSHH]

yea i got a sponge and a carbon pack..am i supposed to get something else?

[cam722]

Didn't you get an ammonia packet or anything other than the sponge and the carbon. Any aquaclear filter I've gotten had 3 different types of media.
