mesh bag for media

[zex1478]

Hi I tried and realised that there is a easier and ultra cheap way to keep your filter medias together.

If you have a old shower lily. Uncoil it. You will see that the whole pc is a mesh sock. so just cut to desire length, tie a knot at one end put in your media and tie up. If Kiasu. Double bag them la.

New shower lilies are abt $1.50 or $0.50.

I LOVE DIY.. woo hoo

Just so you know, these shower lilies may not be made from plastic that is safe for use in aquariums. It's just as cheap to buy a mesh filter bag from an LFS.

If you did use this shower scrub/lily for the aquarium, a brand new one would have been 'safer'. A used one would have come in contact with soap or some other bath material.

Sea Almond aka Ketapang leaves are common all over Singapore. It's a matter of identifying the leaf. However, to be safe, you can always buy from an LFS. I get mine from C328 if I need any, but since you're in Punggol, perhaps Seaview should have them in stock.

I don't think this net last long. Last time I use it to tie moss on rocks but it disintegrate quite fast.
