question on filter floss

OC CJ · 11/08/2007, 12:02 PM

i've been thinking about using this in my sump but couldn't find any at the lfs. found some on marinedepot and saw some pictures of it.

it looks a lot like plain old cotton batting you can get at michaels or joanns fabric. is it the same thing? if so, i'll just go buy a huge bag of it.

thanks,
CJ
