Ehiem 2217 replacement for Fine filter pad

[Cichlidpirate]

I recently got two ehiem 2217 filters, I don't normally use Fine or polishing filter pads in my Canisters (they tend to clog quickly) is there a medium filter pad made for the 2217? Or has anyone found a good medium type filter pad to replace the polishing pad in the 2217 with?

Any help would be great, I know I can always buy sheets of filter material to cut my own but wasn't sure if there was a commercial filter pad that fit well

AFAIK, there is only the blue coarse pad and white fine pad for the smaller Classic model filters. You could use Poly-fil traditional batting to replace the fine pad instead.

Another option is to use Poret filter foam in the 20PPI or the 30PPI size and cut to fit the filter. I use it in my large Eheim Classic canisters with excellent results and they are almost infinitely cleanable and reusable. Check out the Swisstropicals.com website for more info on the product.
