Nice job....

[MaisyDawgThirteen]

Thanks :)

I mean, some of the terms used can be a bit confusing for begginners.

Well done, Maisy. Some people have the talent to be able to take complicated topics and reduce them to simple concepts in the fewest words.

Thank you.

This one is simpler to read, and it's more accurate in some areas.. I am sorry I didn't compliment you firstly. It really is nice to have a place to go and get correct info and not feel like a "newbie" when reading it :) Good job!

They seem the same to me in all honesty.

Just a slight correction - filter media is more than just cartridges - not all filters use cartridges - none of my filters use cartridges. Filter media can be sponges, filter floss, ceramic balls/noodles/rings/stars, etc. In an undergravel filter the media is the gravel itself.

Filter media is specific to the type of filter.

Mine has a aping and a plastic thing on the end and semi aquatic plants.

Thankyou. I have never seen a filter that doesn't use cartridges other than a sponge filter?

[Wendyjo]

Canister filters don't use them and some internal filters don't either. There are also some HOB/HOT filters that use sponge rather than cartridges. And as I stated, UGF's use the gravel.

I'm just pointing this out so that if someone doesn't have a cartridge in their filter they don't freak out over it.
