DIY Fluval Filter Media......?

[tremper]

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to reseed some filters and want to know if anyone has used anything locally available from a hardware store as filter media. I vaguely recall seeing some thin plastic fibrous mats as well as some sort of poly foam and I believe I've heard of them being used somewhere here on the forum.

I have limited time to check it out tomorrow so if someone has had any success please fill me in!

Thanks -

Joe...
