Hey guys still on the search for a place to get cheap filter pad, not wool, in the eastern suburbs area of melbourne. If anyone can help me out i would be much appreciative, was told clarke rubber but it seems they dont stock the aquatic foams any more and the foam they did have for a pool filter i think was $3.80 per 10cm*10cm so the meter by meter i wanted would have cost $380

Clark rubber have the blue foam used in eheim filters for pretty reasonable prices but i think its only in some stores.
other than that, hit the net. some of the online fish supply shops have some good stuff

In my area there are commercial air filter companies/wholesalers. The local one doesn't chase retail customers away thankfully. They have or can order plain filter (no latex treatment) material of several types. The owner happens to keep oscars, so he's familiar with aquatic filter needs.
