filter floss???

[likwid]

Hey guys,

I have heard of a lot of people using filter floss to trap particles in their filtration system, but I have never seen this product anywhere. I have looked at the local fish store, and checked online at JL Aquatics, but neither of them have it. Where can I buy this?

J&L aquatics caries rolls of the stuff (buy the roll and you cut it to whatever size you want). Not expensive. you can also find it at walmart and such places but no guarantees there.

I use the stuff from the Wal-mart fabric section, it's basically the same stuff that they use in quilts, white cotton type stuff that usually comes in sheets that you can just cut to size.

Basically like this

I looked into these things before I started using polyester floss from Walmart and found I had a difficult time determining the "purity" of the floss with any certainty. I ended up using it anyway and I've found that, for whatever reason, my SPS polyp extension was less when running the floss than it was just using open cell foam.

And with such a large pore size, well what exactly does it remove?
