nah i mean can i get some from a normal high street shop?
theres an aquarium shop near me but 8 quid seems bit over the top.

i looked n poundland but they dont have an aquarium range at the moment although they do have sqiggy toys for dogs.

£8. . Was you buying the fish as well? lol. Try the jewel filter media, that comes in boxes of 5 sheets for about 3 quid

Whereabouts are you, king?

I got an almost full pack lying here that only needs to be picket up.

If you have an aquarium near you then see if they have any "FLUVAL U4" foam as that is the exact same grade as the blue foam. you will of course have to cut it to size, but will end up with well over a years supply of cart foam. I bought some last year from my local garden centre from the aquatics department and only paid £3.50.

You should of course give it a good boiling for at least half an hour as all aquarium foams are coated with a water polishing agent. You'll know when it's ready for use as it turns a brilliant white.

If you pre-cut it to size first it will make the boiling process quicker.
