Good prices on filter media.

[K-1 Fighter]

I was wondering if anyone knows of some places on the net where i could
get good prices on pond filtration media? I am looking for the dense and
medium density types that I can cut to shape to place in my filter.

Thank you
and Merry X-mas!

I use floor scrubber pads. Cheap and almost indestructible. You can
get them most anywhere, however I have found on-line to offer the best
prices. I use the black ones near the bottom of my filter and the white
ones on top. Check out page 6 on my site. They have worked very well
for a couple of years.

Depends how big the filter is. I have three 55 gal drums. Scrubbers are
out of sight for cost. We use a milk crate at the bottom (water swirls
around it on entrance and big stuff drops. Then we have strapping tape in
mesh bags.and some screening on the top. The drums used to be our primary
filters. Now we have the berm ponds with plants (veggy filters) and the
barrels are largely redundant. Screen is really easy to clean. Might not
work well for a small filter. We hate changing stuff so we drain the berm
ponds and barrels annually. They both have lots of crud, but have 2" bottom
drains.

If you could do a veggy filter instead of a mechanical one, you could let
plant roots be your major-junk-catchers.
