I have a unique opportunity to become a breeder of live bearer fish for a Local Fish store.It is a good deal for me, the store will provide me with 4x75g tanks each with 3 dividers, air pumps etc.
i know a lot about breeding live bearers so no real questions there, these will not be planted Maybe some anarcis at most.And will rely heavily on Biological filtration.
Which leads me to the questions. I plan to set these up as low cost as possible, and im wondering about bio media, more specifically things not intended as bio media being used as such.
Cheap non treated Sponges, are they safe for Bio Filtration?
Plastic Scrubbers are they safe for bio filtration?

And the Big Cheap car washing sponges,Has anyone used these for Bio filtration?
