Hi All,

I use in my filters, Eheim Ehfi Mech, Substrate pro and the new Mech Pro Spirals.
Have just seen this below
Eheim Ehfi Lav / EhfiLav Volcanic Biological Filter 5L
When I read up on it, it is ideal for ponds and aquariums with high debris, like Ls.
Has anybody used this ?

cheers jk :thumbup:

I have never used the Eheim lava rock, but I do use plain lava rock in one chamber of my big sump. It seems to work well as it has lots of surface area for bio filtration. I have heard people on other forums say it gets plugged up easily but I have not had this problem. I think pre-filtering is important to pull the gunk out.
