Your thinking short term and very short term. Which is fine for you.



The advice I offer is for keeping a monitor, for its lifetime.



What your talking about is a constant maintainece problem that only becomes worse and worse, then you get rid of the monitor because its too much work.



I am not interested in telling folks how to keep a monitor for a short period.



Do you actually realize that once your monitor is an adult, its feces will weight 1/2 to 1 pound, hahahahahaha and your filter is going to WHAT??????



You see, the thing about successfully keeping monitors is, they grow up quick. Even the large ones.



I go get substrate from our local washes. You can do that in most parts of our country. Its already washed free of the crap that makes MUD. They also sell similar material at many gravel yards and Quarries, and landscape yards, etc.
