Re: [Killietalk] Poly Filter

["Bill Shenefelt" <william_shenefelt at verizon.net>]

Clay and Lee;
I used a very small piece and about 3 or 4 ounces of water.  Maybe 1/4 cm on
a side to 1/2 cm on a side.  I also used it in fry boxes and tanks with no
problems.  The death of fish only in bags with this stuff is what set me
thinking.
Clay, I will try to get you replacements.  Let me know what shows etc you
will be attending and if t=not that way I can refund your money or send some
to you.
