200 mircon filter cloth?

Ah, filter pads then. Any vendor that carries Coralife products can order it for you. Coralife makes one called Pure-Flo and is comes in several micron sizes. Machine-washable. You can also buy disposable stuff from J&L Aquatics that comes in a bulk sheet 36 x 24" I think. It doesn't have a micron rating though - it's just a roll of polyester padding for quilt making.

I will ask around about the Coralife pad then. Places carried the "pad" but only in small dimensions, nothing in bulk.

Drs Foster & Smith have them in 4 paks of 36x36", but I want to just grab locally when needed. I go thru them pretty quickly and I can only wash them a couple times before they seem unusable.

I use the quilt padding for a prefilter in front of the 200 micron. Wally World carries a huge bag for 8 bucks.

Thanks for the help. it is appreciated

Yeah, I do the same. Maybe you can talk one of the saltwater LFS to carry it for you, if not...Petland here carries it. $20 for 24x36" or something like that. Now I think of it though, the Coralife I think are only in 50 micron and 100 micron.

When you wash them, what do you use in the wash water to help clean? Bleach helps.
