[AquaticLife] Something *ate* my filter media?!?
What kind of filter media was it? I use poly pad, sponge blocks, etc. and I am still using the same stuff after years of use. It sounds like you must have used something that was biodegradable, rather than a polyester material that lasts a long, long, long time.
Here are links to the kind of stuff I use in my filters… http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=4231&c=3578+41 50&

See my blog for the “Filter Profile - Rena Filstar xP1″ and how I set up my filter media.
I don’t think there are any polyester eating bacteria or the 70’s might not have ever happened!
