Eheim canister replacement ball

$13? For a replacement part that you know will work flawlessly in your filter? That's way too expensive. You're much better off experimenting with random spherical objects that may or may not fit well, may or may not cause leaks, and may or may not leach harmful chemicals into your tank.

Lol be nice!

OP idk, I've never heard of anything else. I would go with the part made for it. Better than any of the things mentioned above. Or it ruining your filter and having to spend the money on a new one!!

Amen! It's $13. Granted, some people have less disposable income than others. However, if you can't drum up $13 over the course of a couple years, you should probably consider a different hobby. It's one thing if we're talking filter media that needs to be changed weekly or monthly. This is a part that's lasted approximately 2 years. I'll work 15 minutes of overtime during a pay period and easily have that. If you're willing to risk a leak or chemical leaching in hopes that there's something that will cost less than $13 for an integral and necessary part of your filter, that seems quite heedless of your investment in aquarium hardware, flora, and fauna.
