Obtaining Mature Filter Media for a New Tank

Post by Ramswin »

Hi all! I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I'm not sure if many of you will remember me or not, but I'm back into the hobby! I have recently set up a new 38 gallon tank and I am in search of mature filter media so that I will not have to go about the cycling process for my new tank. Would anybody be willing to part with some mature media to help me out? If necessary, I'll be more than happy to compensate you for the price of the media. Thanks a bunch!

You looking for a sponge filter or maybe a filter pad? I'm gonna be tearing down a couple established tanks soon.

Thanks for your response!! A filter pad would be best. However a sponge filter, filter floss, bio balls, ceramic rings, basically any type of media would be just fine.
