Polyfilter wool

[tigershark]

Anyone tried those polyfilter wool before? seen it in Aquastar in Yishun, $16 per pkt.... it claims to absorb Phos, copper, amonia, Nitrate, nitrate and o lot of other harmful material..... could be reuse if soak in FW (if the filter is use in the SW tank) and vice versa...

Good stuff.

But you can't recharge it. It's an absorbent. Once 'full', throw away.

$16 per packet? That's too expensive already. I bought $33 for 3 in Petm**t.

It is very useful as it can detoxify a contaminated system.

You can read more about it here. There are lab tests conducted on its absorbing capability, effects on trace elements, etc.

I personally see Polyfilter as a emergency measure.

Used to use them, now no more

I see.... since there are so many members used it b4 and have such good commend, think don't need to consider already. Petmark selling $33/ 3 pkt... anywhere else selling cheaper?

No offence xfusion, now where is that thread on the 'Most Ridiculous Advice from LFS'? .....

[shiraz]

well needless to say, a certain LFS in the 'EASTest' side of singapore told me that polyfilters trap bacteria too

[junyong84]

i dun think it absorb additives leh... but i do see a colour change in the filter when additives are added...so i usually added more additivies...
