ctaylor3737 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Promised I would post the site that I found that carried the large sheets of the open cell foam. They are very decently priced and a full sheet shipped is around 53$ depending on the thickness your looking for. Here is the link I am going to try it out and make some HMF filters for a few 10g tanks. Cheaper than some of the other poret stuff that I have seen around. What do you guys think? http://www.thefoamfactory.com/opencellfoam/filter.html Louie and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 The price is pretty amazing if it is the same stuff. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Yea thats what I thought, found it on a random forum and they used it as such. Been trying to find the oringinal forum link but cant seem to find it. Looks great though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfosgate Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 This is great. At the bottom of the page it states this foam is not recommended for fish tanks. Is that a concern? Is there a fire retartant chemical in the foam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metageologist Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 It's a plot by filter manufactures to keep you from buying there supplies at a fraction of the cost. Have a gniess day. -Scott ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably n out,able to be "marketed" for aquarium use. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
