I got some stuff for mechanical filtration from the craft section at Walmart. It is Polyfil batting. It is in a role. Is this the right stuff? I chose between this stuff and another product by Polyfil that was a big ball of stuffing.

i use craft filling in my filters. way cheaper than buying proper aquarium material as the price seems to shoot up once "aquarium" gets put on the box/bag.

I just wanted to give an update on this stuff.

I am using it as the sole media in both of my Emperor 400s on my 125, and all I have to say is WOW! My water is more polished than ever:headbang2. It works much better than even using the cartidges that come with the Emperors. I have had problems with gloomy water with tons of tiny particles in the past and this stuff has made such a difference. I am stoked to have found something that works so well but also costs so little.
