Thanks!

I use the egg crate under my wool too. Works beautifully. Came with the tank (great work by N30 ).

Black foam sounds great. Does the black foam come the the size of Mr Aqua OHF (11" x 6").

I have been looking around for our dishwasher sponge material too, but they don't come in large sizes.

Hi all I got this from c328, this seems to be be the same material as the sponge used for the black sponge filters used for discuss tanks. Working well so far!

is this the finest? Even the finest also cannot filter better than white wool as once I put wrongly with the white above the finest and the finest is very clean. This type can last very long. I put the medium above the finest and the finest above the white wool to filter the larger bio load.
