Filter wool

Has anyone trialed different source for filter wool?

they sell a non-perfumed, non-allergenic, non-bleached non-this and non-that pillows at the moment, they cost $2.00 and the material inside looks identical?

just trying to be a cheap asre

I use filter wool in all my filters, if your lucky your LFS should sell you a big pillow of it for less than $10. I just tear a bit off, and replace the old one when I monthly inspect my filters.

I got mine from Monaco at Canley vale for $9, which is a bargain, as it's HUGE. Probably takes me about 1 year to get rid of them, and mind you I have 3 filters runing for my 4 foot tank.

Try a fabric store - look for the stuff they use to fill up quilts & similar - they call it wadding I think.

My mother used to work in a fabric store and got me a whole roll of the stuff - it also comes in different thicknesses as well - I use it in all my trickle filters.
