Squeaky's Aquatics Filter Floss Roll (26 in x 90 ft)

The Squeaky's Aquatics Filter Floss Roll is bulk mechanical filter media the way fish rooms and pond keepers buy it: a single roll of white bonded polyester floss, 26 inches wide and 90 feet long, about 195 square feet of pad. Cut it to fit sump trays, canister baskets, hang-on-back filters, overflow boxes and pond filter boxes, and stop paying by the pre-cut pad.

Why You'll Love It

• One roll, hundreds of pads. Cut a 12 x 12 in pad from it every week and the roll still lasts around four years.
• Fits any filter. Scissors and a ruler are the only tools. Size it to the tray, chamber or sock holder you already have.
• Polishes the water. Bonded polyester traps fine particles that sponges let through, so the tank clears fast after a cleaning or a rescape.
• Inert and safe. Plain polyester fiber with no additives, so it works in freshwater, saltwater and ponds.
• Rinse and reuse. A pad rinsed in old tank water goes back in a few times before it packs down and needs replacing.

How to Use It

Measure the filter chamber, cut a piece slightly larger than the opening and tuck it in loosely so water still passes through the whole pad. Put it after any coarse sponge and before your biological media, so it catches debris without clogging the media that holds your bacteria. Swap it when it turns brown, usually every week or two, and never let it sit until it restricts flow. Keep the roll dry and covered between cuts.
