Filter Floss

[Newbneedshelp]

I wanted to know if it is possible to put filter floss in my penguin 125 and how much to get. Also where is cheapest, online or off.

You can also buy polyester fiberfill at a craftstore or walmart.Its the same stuff-just make sure its not the flame retardent stuff.Good old plain poly fill from the store is a lot cheaper and you get more.

I buy huge bags of the stuff at a sewing store for around $3.

For all my marineland filters I cut the old used floss off of the frame with a razor blade and rubberband on bonded floss from big als. $ 6.50 for 10 sq. ft. It is very clean and does not have loose fibers that might injure the fish.

Yeah, you wouldn't want your fish to be injured by a flying piece of floss!

I have filter floss (from Big Al's) in my penguin 125. I have it and a aquaclear sponge (for coarse filtration) instead of the carbon filter that came with it. I had to cut the sponge a bit but it works great!
