Filter Media from established tank - Sheffield

JL94x4 · Jul 19, 2024

Looking to potentially get some filter media from an established tank to start up my current tank.

I'm in Sheffield. Very grateful for anyone that can help

If you don’t manage to get any locally this company sells mature media and filters.

Tropco - based in Kent

The Nitrico Goop from Tropco should be pathogen-free, whereas mature media from someone's tank may introduce diseases. Not saying don't do it, just mentioning that risk.

They are open for a couple of days during the week I believe. There is a lot of fish selection, even rare finds. Quite jealous really

(don't tell my LFS I said that)

They have a store as well? I’m off work this week, might have to take a trip over and see what they’ve got
