you can get cotton batting at walmart or any fabric store. Walmart you need there fabric / sewing area. Its cheap and you get a good roll and it works well.

Poly-fil Fiberfill is all i could find at joanns. Where do you get cotton batting?

this is what i bought: http://www.fabricdepot.com/product.aspx?ItemKey=12174
you dont think i can use that?

I've also used that brand before, with no problems.

Joanns should have it on a roll too, if it's easier to cut to size for your filter, that makes it flat and continuous. $1yd?

Wouldn't cotton break down in the water after a while?

Oh and on the bag, it says that it meets the flammability requirements of CA. Does that mean it has fire retardant on it?

Not so much a chemical flame retardent, as how much the material will start and sustain a burn.

email the company (or store you buy it from) for an msds (materials safety data sheet) on it to make you feel more comfortable.

i've tried emailing them 3 times, but i haven't received a response yet.

It says 100% polyester, you think that means that there aren't any chemicals added?

Ah...mommy? Dude come on ...it's Mom

Did you remove all your other filter media, there put in the gauze? Wundering if what you had was an ammonia spike.

Things like this bug me...
