where can i buy quilt batting

[talal101]

hello all,
i have read many times that adding quilt batting to a pond filter aids in cloudy water and such, im wondering if i can buy it from a fabric store?
thanks

Yep you sure can and also Wal-mart and K-mart and at Christmas time I bought a bunch of the big bags of floss stuff for Christmas deco's from Wal-mart after Christmas for super cheap. It's just like the floss you would use in an old type aquarium filter only tons of it in a bag. I'm keeping my eyes open for it again this next after Christmas sale as it works great for putting in a basket right under your waterfall to collect fine debris

thank you, and that is a fine idea

Just bought a huge bag at walmart for 7 dollars about 3 foot tall (the bag lol)

i put it out for the birds to make nest with lol, makes them nice and soft

any fabric store should have it and I had to put in mine as I had cloudy water but I heard it is good for algae too .

I bought some at walmart that said all natural and was a tan color and was sort of quilted and it was great for the filter does not fall apart as fast .I just wring it out and put it back in great stuff
