When bio reefs and trickle filters first took off in Canada in the 80s we could not source bioballs, if we did find them for sale they were HUGELY expensive.

So some kid at the LFS recognized that his Mom's haircurlers would make a decent substitute, the best part was we could buy haircurlers at Kmart for pennies! They worked fine.

Does your mom know what happened to her curlers? Looks like she spent a fortune replacing what you took
