The Puffer Forum

I am using alot of fine filter floss/wool at the moment, trying to clear a bacterial bloom. Wondering if the stuff that you buy at arts & crafts places (to stuff cushions/toys etc) would be ok as this could be bought much more cheaply in bulk.
Any thoughts?

I buy 3 bags at a time from there.

Exactly! (although most people on here won't know what we're on about!!)

I bought a huge bag of filter floss from the LFS (we don't have a craft store), and I love it. It lasts forever and is so much cheaper than premade cartridges.

You're lucky - over here, a small box cost me £8.

that's crazy!

anyway keep in mind NOT to recycle that floss. disposable temp media

Its nothing exciting J-P! Just this massive discount store near us, that people travel miles to come to (except us locals, who generally avoid it like the plague!) You can pretty much buy anything & its all under one roof - if you can find it & then join the queues of people to pay for it & maybe if you're lucky, you will be able to find your way out!

sounds like a walmart on a friday afternoon

It's just a local talkin point !!! Not missin much! Lol

Just make sure its not treated to be non-flammable! That stuff is no good for the fish.

If you can find it in the pressed sheets, its even easier to work with than the loose floss

I don't find the pressed stuff to work as well for my filters.
