Hi - I was wondering if anyone could recommend a universal filter media? I've got an AquarClear 3 as part of this tropical setup, but it didn't come with any. I have no idea what I can or should use as it's just an empty bottom. Can't find AquarClear media online anywhere, but am going to the LFS tomorrow so if you have any ideas, let me know. I'm going to be running the two internals from the other tank in the new one to avoid a long cycle (or any if at all poss *lol*).

You want something that will do it all, and be easy to maintain, and not mess things up?
AquaClear Sponges. Also called OPEN CELL sponge in the craft shops, just be sure it doesn't have flame retardent or mildew retardent on them.
Nice thing about sponges is that you rinse em in used tankwater and they can last for years. You can cut them to fit filters, and you can raid them to "seed" a new filter on a "new" tank.
