snip The Aquaultraviolet tank filter, similar to the bead filters, uses
a hollow media, but it is short chopped pieces so they won't have enough
length to go anaerobic. Find a glue them together, or rubberband them
together and they would be like the pvc pipe, which builds a nice biofilm

the inside surface.

Couldn't he just cut the straws into smaller pieces?



25000 straws? Even with a paper cutter that might take a while But I
was thinking if they're left long then it's probably easier to line them
up with the water flow so there aren't dead spots. I suppose if they
were cut down to about 3/8" it wouldn't make a difference. But that's
around 1/2 million pieces. Then I just need to make a widget that cuts
straws. DIY heaven.








Heck, everyone needs a hobby, if it keeps ya busy why not lol lol lol.
