Economic Filter Pads?

[shookONES]

I'm looking for less expensive version of the typical dual later padding used in drip trays prior the water passing through the bioballs of a sump. Any ideas?

My fish store sells it off a giant roll. I buy ten feet at a time (it's 2' wide) at $2 a foot. It's certainly cheaper than what you can get at a Petsmart or the like.

same here. i also used that poly fill fiber stuff from walmart. a big bag is less than $10. its in the arts/crafts section with the pillow fill

I also recommend pillow stuffing.

You can also get it at Michael's or other craft stores for like $2.99 for a big bag.

Maybe a few pennies more...but they don't abuse their returning reservists and other employees like Wal-Mart does.

Click on his other items as he has different sizes and lengths available.
I've used the dual blue bond before and this pink filter media is Cadillac compared to the blue.
