How about SCWD's. they start of real good except they restrict flow a lot. The probelm is then they get clogged and stop. If you can't do a mod(like me) they become junk.

 

[oceanparadise1]

what does scwd stand for?

 

[robharold]

You've never heard of scwd's? Switching current water director.

Also something else that does not work well. The Aqua-tongs. They do not hold strongly and have to drain way too much water before removing them or it leaks all over you.

 

[oceanparadise1]

ooo DUH lol i had a brain freeze :)

 

[theplatypus]

Hydorflo's. COnstant cleaning required and a lot of water restriction.

 

[oceanparadise1]

YESSS i could not rember what they where called but yea hydorflos are garbage!

 

[oceanparadise1]

BIO BALLS!!!!!! they are a waste of money if you use them.....please stop!:)

 

[maroonytunes]

Bio balls work great in nanos, going to have to disagree with you, if you clean them or replace them on a monthly basis, it has positive effect on the tank, but that's just my experience.

 

[oceanparadise1]

errr i think ur alone on this one, they are total nitrate traps

 

[maroonytunes]

Keep em clean lol, it'll work good, never had a problem in the 3 years my tanks were up.
