Re: Sponge Filtering Materials
I went to Wallyworld and looked for the polyurethane foam (I use 1/2 inch
sheets cut to fit around the intake of the Aquaclear mini filters) and found
only surprise pink and sunrise yellow "egg crate" foam for beds. Since my
tanks are in the earth tone parts of the color wheel I was reluctant to buy
these festive (loud!) colors. If you know of a source to buy 1/2 inch to 3/4
inch-thick sheet foam please let me know. Thanks.
