Foam for between baffles

[LotR Clown]

Anyone know where I can get foam for blocking the return side of my sump? basically between the baffles. Would I have to have it custom cut?

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

I use cut-to-fit pads in my baffles. Two different types, both available locally. On the bottom I use the 100 micron Coral Life Pureflo. I get it at Wet Pets. On top of that, I use the coarse white HBH pad. I buy it at Crystal Clear. The HBH catches large particles while the CoralLife is a better polisher. Prices are very fair locally when you consider shipping.

Thanks Ronnie.. I guess a trip to Norman is in the near future. I'm trying the 12k reeflux SE bulbs on pfo HQI ballast since I don't have actinic supplementation. I hear good things about 10k reeflux with actinic supp. You might look into that.

Premier Aquatics in Tulsa has three different sizes for about $4.00 each. I use them on all my tanks you might give them a call, they might ship or if you planning a trip to Tulsa.

I've read pretty good stuff about the Reeflux's. You say you're trying SE's? Let me know how you like them.

Yah should be here early in the week Ronnie. I have to try to find something that gives off a little more actinic colors than 10k does since I have no way of mounting some fluorescent bulbs. I'll let you know how the 12k look with pfo hqi ballasts. Again these are SE bulbs, it will probably look all together different with DE bulbs.
I picked up some of the blue foam at CCA. I want something that won't clog real easy. I just wanna keep the snails from the return pump.
