You see all this time I’ve been trying to educate the hobbyist for free and now someone has a new angle on basically cat clay for a higher price. Now you know why my AFS has been kept so quiet and no one wants you to know about it…because it’s free!





What you are going to see/read is two advertisements for a new plant media for pond use, which is now being sold through pet mail order houses online. It was more than 25-years ago that the AFS was introduced to the public and for those that did not understand its concept and science, they called it “nonsense,” and that no one would be interested in such a filtration system made of cat litter and Laterite.  

These two plant clay mediums that are being sold today without Laterite added are just what I have been talking about for the past 25-years now, but in a new package and at hundreds of times the price of plain old cat litter. Yet, when I tried to tell manufactures about the AFS they didn’t want to hear about it.  

So take the timeout to read the advertisements and what they are now saying about basically “cat litter” and how great it is! It’s funny how now manufactures are singing a different toon when there is money to be had from hobbyist at hundreds of times the price of fired crystalline structural cat clay. I like the words, and I Quote: “Ecological LaboratoriesKiln-fired, 100% natural montmorillonite clay.” Really!!! Let’s not forget, these are the same people that didn’t what to give me the time-of-day when I wanted to talk to them.  

Even the pet supply stores selling these product did not what to talk to me when I said they should get a package together of Laterite, cat clay and a open-cell planting basket to sell to the hobbyist and they called the BCB idea “garbage”, but I guess now that my ideal is in a nice pretty package, it’s the greatest thing on earth! It’s funny that when a manufacture of a pond or aquarium product says some mumble jumble advertisement words that sound as good as “Corinthian Leather” to sell something, no one questions them and the validity of their goods! Do we just take their word because they say it is; then it is? Just food for thought.  

You see all this time I’ve been trying to educate the hobbyist for free and now someone has a new angle on basically cat clay for a higher price. How long will it take them before they add the Laterite to their products? Now you know why my AFS has been kept so quiet and no one wants you to know about it…because it’s free! I guess stealing ones idea is better than giving them credit or thanks!
