IPU should have some bulk stuff. Give them a call

[Momobobo]

IPU has large amounts of it last time I visited

yeah, IPU has the biggest bulk amount than i've seen elsewhere.

Check out J&L Aquatics for their pre-filter floss.Just cut to size and put in the top of the upper most filter tray.I replace every 3 weeks.

^+1 for j&l but I'm sure IPU would have it too.

all the best,

I just use these Poly-fil pads. Works great probably cheaper than the aquarium floss

Walmart.com: Poly-Fil Nu-Foam Cushion, 15" x 17" x 2": Crafts

Word to the wise, years ago I had a hobbyist use padding like that meant for furniture, his experiment cost him thousands in dead corals. Padding made for furniture can leach contaminants into the aquarium as it is not handled for that use and can come in contact with virtually anything. Word to the wise, cost cutting can bite you in the ass.

Thx for heads up. So far so good in my shrimp tank, over a month now

This particular hobbyist used it for 6 months until the meltdown. UV light indicated contaminated floss.
