justinkdenny Posted July 14 It says 100% polyester but doesn't say anything about being flame retardant. It also says made from recycled materials. It is from Walmart. Thanks 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
xM3THODx Posted July 15 Plenty of reefers use it and have zero issues. Being frugal myself, I have some on hand just in case I run out of the pink filter floss, but at this time the Pink stuff is working out great. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Xanthine Posted July 15 Yep, I use that same bag when I know I'm going to go through a lot of floss (dino outbreak, cyano outbreak, after heavy turkey baster-ing). I put some on top of my more expensive/better inTank floss as kind of a pre-filter floss filter. It does tend to leave a lot of loose fibers around the tank and stuck on powerheads, which can be solved by putting it in a bag first, but usually I skip the bag since I know I'm going to remove it in a few hours anyways.

Rob22 Posted July 15 I’ve used it in my Biocube for about two years. No issues that I have ever noted. Quote Share this post Link to post
justinkdenny Posted July 15 I don't know if I want to use it if it leaves loose fibers. Anyone else have this problem? Quote Share this post Link to post
Xanthine Posted July 15 I have some running in my jbj cubey right now and snapped a pic so you can see what I mean. It's usually pretty long fibers that are easy to pick back out. Only once did I get some wrap around the impeller, but it didn't seem to mess anything up, I just noticed it while doing routine maintenance. Quote Share this post Link to post

Ratvan Posted July 15 I made a floss fibre guard out of craft mesh. Every time I replace the floss I give the guard a shake to get the loose fibres out pop it back in, add floss done. Not really needed as far as I can tell, but makes me feel better. Quote Share this post Link to post
