Hey guys long time reader first time poster!

So have just brought myself a 300 gallon tank
and am in the process of building myself a 5 foot sump

After much research I have come across ceramic foam filters
they are used in the aluminium industry as a fine filter ranging from 10-50ppi (pores per square inch) much of my research and a few emails to suppliers i can't see why this material woud not make
an excellent media has any one used or know of any one using it ?

What form does it come in? Big blocks? I can see it being a giant pain to clean.

Yeah comes in 50 mill blocks found a guy that was not to far from me that ran some in his sump
was quite suprised how easily the water filtered through it thinking about placing some
in the baffle just before my return pump so the waters relatively clean before it gets to it
