ive seen alot of talk about skippy filters...i have a trickle filter...why is a skippy filter suggested more than a trickle filter and does the water cause alot of back pressure on the pump
The skippy media is sponge like material, however, you don't have to use this to make this style of filter work. I have 7000 pieces of small tubes in mine and they work better than the sponges since I never have to remove and clean them. Eventually, the sponges will have to be removed, cleaned and or replaced because they will deteriorate over time. ABS tubes will never deteriorate or saturate with the scum that it collects.c2c7390 said:what exactly is the "skippy" media
