Dinky,
You're right about making sure nothing is added. I noticed there were 2
kinds of 'snow.' One type has glitter and the other is simply pure fiber.
Obvious glitter in the fish tank isn't the wisest material. Amazing how
retailers can mark up the very same product but call it 'filter floss' and
charge you ten fold. I'll definitely buy some after the holidays.

My local retail store is selling bags of this 100% polyester filling
used
to
simulate Christmas snow for like $3.00 for a large bag. Is this filling
the
same kind of filter floss I see at my LFS for 4 times the price? If so,
I'm
going to stock up on the stuff post Holiday when they'll sell them for
even
less.



I've used the polyester fiber from the local fabric store on occasion, as
long as you can be sure there isn't anything added to it, I'd recommend
it.
