Inexpensive source of filter foam?
Has anyone discovered a cheaper source of filter foam/sponge than the LFS's :question:
$18 for a 12" x 6" block at IA is the best I've found in Calgary and it goes up from there :eek:. Seems an exorbitant amount to pay for a piece of foam. If anyone has found a suitable alternative say a mattress manuf. or cleaning supply place etc.. please share with the class :smile: |
Yes .. but .. um .. I can't seem to find their card at the moment. :redface:
Doug (Tangoman) pointed me to these guys. Doug you out there, do you remember their name? If not, like I said, I'll dig through my pile-o-business-cards and post back. |

For the 1 inch stuff I use air conditioner foam from Rona, never had a problem with it. Its like 5 bucks for 12x24 inches approx.

Ok, for the foam sponges, I don't know, I just use LFS stuff for sponges when I need a sponge (really only use that stuff in my FW tank's Fluval).
But for filter floss, check out this place: Labbe Bedding Ltd. 5010-1st ST. S.E. 287-9808 |
Scott,
Try looking at a fabric store.They usually carry different types of foam from fine stuff you would use in a cushion to more heavier stuff almost like the filter media you would buy for a reno.I used to buy my white filter fluff from there for my AC300 all the time I would buy a big bag at $3 that would last a year. |
Thanks Tony and Geopod for the tips :cool:.
I will look into both Labbe Bedding and the fabric stores. |
Filter Floss
Hey any of you Lower Mainland guys wanna share where you get your filter floss. I bought my last piece at J&L's.
Thanks in advance George |
Go to Walmart. In the fabric/ sewing section, they have bags of the pillow stuffing, floss and foam. Dirt cheap. Use it all the time
