I get mine from an upholstery shop. You might also try a craft store.


Would that not be treated with some kind of fire suppressant chemical? I'd
have thought it would be less than ideal but clearly its not killing your
fish so it must be OK - interesting!

I generally make a test filter from each new batch to be sure. You can also
look for indications that it is allergy free or some such wording.

Hey folks. I would like to build my own sponge filter but am having a little
trouble finding the material for the sponge. I have tried my lfs, Home
Depot, and AC Moore. I am looking for at least a 4x4x4. Any specific
suggestions? Thanks
Steve
