FishmanCalgary Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I've been using that material for years, and have never had a problem. The big sheets cut/tear to any size you need. Also works good to make replacements for penguin and other cartrige style filters, just tear of the old, and wrap a new piece in place over the plastic frame, and insert to hold in place.

HOSStile Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I have read through this thread and everyone is talking about replacement mech filter material. (white small hole foam) Does anyone know where to get the more porous rigid stuff that you use for biofiltration like the AC except in bigger pieces. I see that Big Als has replacement foam cut for the ACs but I want a piece approimately 8x12 inches about 3 inches thick for a pond filter I am building and want to pump 2000 gph through it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Just what I am looking for....I am sure that somewhere it can be had in 1", 2", 3", and 4" thicknesses, in 4' x 8' sheets, but finding it, and being sure (which is harder than it sounds) that nowhere along the manufacturing-line it has been treated (or has an ingredient) for anti-fungal protection, is the really difficult part.

HOSStile Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I wonder where Als got theirs, there is no packaging just the stuff cut to the appropriate size for the AC in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozco Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I've seen a roll hanging from the ceiling at pisces in their plant area. I don't know if they sell it though if if thats for their use or if its even what I think it is. I also don't know how rigid it is. You might want to call them.
