Anyone care to reveal where they buy replacement foam for their filters? My Fluval requires foam which is about 10x1x3 or something close to that. I do not think there is anyway I could cram polyester fill in there instead of foam.
Of course, I am looking for economical alternatives ;)
Is the blue foam from Big Al's as economical as it gets?

You should go to superpet barhaven they have a closing down sale 50% off for fluval accessories and other stuffs.
I am sure i have seen it on sale there..
How often do you replace it? I have had a chunk of that open celled blue stuff for a couple of years. It is pretty rugged.

Excellent question! I have not replaced it yet but am also not sure how often I should. I keep rinsing/squeezing it out during water changes and it is holding up fine.
Just keep rinsing and squeezing out until it falls apart. We use those sponges for months or years!
