Aquaclear Filters...

What do you guys think about their "new" BioMax insert? The box claims
"Increases biological efficiency by 30%! Expands biological capacity of
aquariums. Provides optimal living conditions for beneficial bacteria."
I'm about to change the filter media on a new-ish tank and was wondering.
Thanks for any info.

Most have been using other filter materials in their Aqua Clear filters for
a long time. You can use a stocking or buy a filter media bag and put
various types of media in it, i.e., crushed coral, ceramic rings, etc. Such
media helps develop the bacterial colony and is probably a lot cheaper than
buying a pre-packaged kit, IMO.
