Carbon Rocks for Aquarium Filtration as a Filler

Post by **Zac Miley** » 20 Jun 2006 17:15

For any of you stitchers out there that also have fish - do you think that carbon rocks could be a good filler for a 32-panel? I was looking under the aquarium today and forgot we had some. Got me thinking.

It would probably make the inside of the bag dirty, and stuff like that. It might also get crushed with all of the kicks, but those are the only cons that I can think of.

Do the math
Rocks + Delicate material = Holes

aquarium rocks are pro for about a month then it's full of holes. try to stitck to round non degradable things. like bbs, shots, pollypellets, or other things that will not hurt the fabric.

I figured this, but I didn't know, since people grabbed tiny rocks out of their front yard sometimes (didn't know how well it worked).

Thanks for the replies.

Hey Zac, thanks for your question. Yeah they really are bad. Not only do they cause holes, but rocks are porous and suck all the moisture from the material. Feel free to post or ask about any other stitching questions you might have

Thank you.

I will probably be posting quite a few questions in the near future, if they haven't already been answered by other topics.
