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

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.

Here's the URL - http://www.aquaticeco.com/index.cfm/.../4323/cid/1278

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

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 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

), 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.
