Poret Filter Pads from Swiss Tropicals

[Totenkampf]

I talked to Stephan today and he confirms that any amount of stuff ships for 12 bucks as long as we dont buy the 40 x 40 sheets which would cause a UPS oversize charge. I plan on buying some of the 19" x 19" sheets to make HMF and my own canister filter pads. I will be ordering on 1 June if anyone else is interested. Prefer paypal in advance or similar. See his product line here:

Bear in mind I can meet along BW8 from the NW to NE side of town in the evenings, so I wont be delivering these to Clear Lake etc.

D@mn you Yeff

Funny, I just posted a thread trying to figure out what pore size to order LOL

I am putting a HMF on either end of a 75 gallon each with a 150gph powerhead, for that application he suggested the 3" x 30ppi in the 19.5 x 19.5 sheet. for smaller aquaria you could use 2".

For use as particulate filtration in a ~350gph canister filter he suggested 30ppi (i assume 2" thick) as final filtration and maybe a 10ppi as coarse prefilter. The 30ppi wont polish, he suggests floss for that.

So I have been looking and I don't see 10ppi foam less than 4" thick

That is to much work

bump from the dead but for those that bought some for use as a HMF filter what thickness did you guys end up going with and what ppi?

Is it working out as planned?

I am wanting to use this as a tank divider in my 75g sump.

[sunkenmetal]

I was thinking about ordering some more.

are you just trying to divide or filter with it as well?

[eklikewhoa]

Filter and divide

It will be to section off part of my 75g sump so it'll be doing both. Main purpose is to divide though

[sunkenmetal]

It is pretty solid stuff so anything 1" or thicker would work...

[sunkenmetal]

I need to order some 4 inch" 40ppi so I can move some bio media around....

[eklikewhoa]

I'm gonna have some serious flow against it so I was thinking 3-5" minimum.

Have a 3000gph powerhead pushing against it as well as my pondmaster AP-40 airpump.

[sunkenmetal]

Maybe some 4" like I need then. It is pretty sturdy...
