WTB: Enkamat (or does anyone else want some?)
 

Ok before I go order some of this PF4 stuff, does anyone already have some that they'd like to share?

And if not, alternatively if I do order some, is there enough interest to share out whatever I don't end up using?

I realize there are probably good alternatives but I want to try some of this PF4 stuff since that's what all the other meshwheel mod threads seem to be going on and on about ....

Supposedly I've got a 5x7 sample coming from the mfg'er... But if you were to buy some - i'd buy a foot or two (x39") hunk off ya.

i'm in

where you getting it from? I just got a quote from a Fish Farm Supply:
PF5C THICK ENKAMAT 5 YARDS 39” WIDTH $124.45
Pf4C THIN ENKAMAT 8 YARDS 39” WIDTH $154.64

its way too much for me but i'm willing to chip in on a buy.
Andy, where and how did you get a sample from the manufacturer?

search for enkamat on google - colbonds done quite well at positioning itself for the first line of search results ;)

Sorry i'm out

i'm out and i'll wait for my sample.... maybe you should put in for sample too.:lol:

Yeah maybe I'll do that. I just figure with my luck they will catch on what people are doing and stop sending out free samples before they send one out to me.. I thought I read on RC that there were a few people claiming not to have gotten theirs, but who knows.

alternative
 

yeah but the alternative is to put out 150 bucks for a loonie size piece that you need. i think that justifies the "wait and see"

Not sure what this stuff is. WHat are you going to use it for in a reef tank?

It's a kind of filter material basically, very loose, that they are using to modify needlewheel impellers into meshwheel impellers. The results people are claiming are pretty impressive.

I have a roll of gutter guard anyhow so I can always start off with some of that, but I was just hoping to see if anyone already bought some enkamat and had some extra, or wanted to buy some with me (if it has to come down to that).

Oops, I missed this comment. You don't need to buy $150 of it, aquaticeco.com sells 2 yards of the PF4 for about $28 so that didn't seem quite as bad as buying a football field for $150. :)

Maybe I'll just order it and let people know how it works out.

Is that not the right stuff? Someone stop me if it's the wrong stuff!!!
