Aquarium what is media2007-11-24 23:10:00

You could also use ceramic pellets, labled "biological filtration," which are basically just more surface area for the bacteria to grow.

Activated carbon is only necessary when you need to filter out chemicals, like after you've medicated or if your water has gotten discolored from a new piece of driftwood.

Ammonia absorbers are only for when there's ammonia in your tank, and you and your fish are a lot better off reducing that naturally, with water changes, rather than chemically.

Let's see. I think that's it! If there are any more specific questions, please feel free to ask. I hope that helped.

media is the stuff inside the filter, the stuff that actully catches the junk. like filter pads, bio balls, stuff like that

Media is all the stuff in the filter, such as foam, carbon, and something for bacteria to grow on. These are relatively cheap, and the foam and carbon should be replaced monthly.
