    Get some pumice here @ www.natureboys.co.za and lots more. Not sure if pumice is loaded on their site.

    Have pumice in most sponge filters and they work great. Add a piece of Coral for pH stability and your good to go

    I bought quite a few of I think 20kg bags of pumice stone from Chamberalins Hardware. it's the same pumice that they sell for braai's - it works like a bomb and is dirt cheap. Got masses and masses of holes in it.
