Re: [GSAS-Member] Eclipse 12 filter media

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

When I use the filter tray in an Eclipse I use a sponge that I think may
be for outside power filters. I just lay it in the filter tray and it
works fine. I haven't paid attention to the brand or what it's called.
It's a dense sponge and holds up well. I've used filter floss as well, but
prefer the sponges. I'm VERY low tech (wink).
