    Hey guys so this weekend our sliding door broke and i thought there must be something i can use all the glass for.

    What do you guys think of using the broken glass as filter media instead of ceramic balls? Glass is also a ceramic and us unreactive, has quite large surface area but seems a bit smooth?

    You would be better of using gravel. The glass is solid thus greatly reducing surface area.
