I use the blue furnace filters myself. They are sort of spun fiber and see
through, like a scrub brush. I think they call them hogs hair, but they are
really some sort of fiber not really hogs hair. I get them at the plumbing
store called Naughton's but that is a local store here in Tucson AZ, I
think. "Cooler filters" ? as in swamp coolers used in the dry southwest?
Most of them have some sort of stuff on them to retard mold and I would
check really good to be sure they aren't going to kill your fish. Good Luck
what ever you decide to use. Kathy in AZ

After a long winters nap, I am back. I didn't post much last season so you
all
probably don't remember me, but here I am.
I am so excited for the new season!
I am in the process of building a filter out of a 70 gal stock tank. I
found
many ideas and have combined them into my own design. I am trying to
figure
out what to use for filter media. The nearest pond store, Lowes, Home
Depot is
2 1/2 hours away, but I found some cooler pad that I think might work. It
is
blue, called Dura-Cool. It says it does not decay and is non allergenic.
If I
cut this into smaller pieces, will this work?
Thank you so much.

Shawn
