I'm in :biggrin:

I ordered some. I tried to do the free sample thing but got frustrated trying to figure out which of the 20 product #'s for Enkamat to request, so I figured what the heck, for $30 I'll just have loads extra.

well then.....
 

well if thats the case Tony, $28 doesn't seem that bad. I'll throw $10 into the pot. a couple more people and you can split that 2 yards into 1/2 yard each (or however much you decide to part it)

Cool :) I'll msg you guys when the stuff comes. I picked the cheapest method of shipping (of course) so I imagine it will be at least a week or two before it's here.

Does this work with any needlewheel impeller? I've got a euro reef skimmer with two sedra 5000's on it. If it makes them better I'm in for sure.

Well the idea is that you cut the needles off of the impeller, so technically it would work with any impeller. People were even trying to mod MJ1200s. I didn't cut the needles off of my impeller though (too chicken and too cheap :wink:), I just crammed the enkamat over top of the needles. I put a couple layers of what I had (a different/wrong type of enkamat) and it still made a pretty marked difference over just the needlewheel alone which makes me want to try the proper mesh. :biggrin:

why was the stuff you got the wrong stuff Christy?

Well I'm not sure what type it was, I bought it from BigAls as a Tetra Pond Filter (it was only $7.99) but when it arrived it looked much different from any of the posts showing the stuff in that RC thread. Its like a "tight" mesh on the bottom and very thin, say 2mm thick, then it has all these little offshoots that loop upwards to make it "thicker" yet it wouldn't really provide much in the way of "mesh" for what we're looking for. So I cut the offshoots off and just used the bottom layer. I put two layers on, but I think that the PF4 Enkamat, being thicker, would do a better job as we could get away with just two layers of that, but this stuff I have probably needs about 6 layers or so to be truly efficient (and its a huge PITA to get it on over the needles on the impeller :razz:).

ahh ok. Was just curious. :wink:

Hey tony if you have any left over from what you have bought I will buy some off you.....any good DIY'er has to have everything possible lieing around!! :)
