Pond Filter Media
Can I use regular lava rock as the biological filter medium in my pond filter?
Or do I need to get some of that fancy stuff sold all over the pond supply websites? I have seen lava rock mentioned as an alternative, but wasn’t sure if it would work as well as whatever else, plastic strips, the ceramic stuff, etc
Lava rocks work fine, but the pond store doesn’t make as much money from lava, so they want to see you somethind else. Lava rock is just heavier than other media.
