So I've been looking around for alternatives to the ClariSea branded filter rolls for their filter fleece roller. I haven't really had any luck EXCEPT I did find out that the Hmahli filter fleece rolls fit. They're 328 ft long compared to the shorter ClariSea "XL" rolls that are only 131 ft. The Hmahli rolls are thinner and more porous, though. They list them at 80 micron. ClariSea won't give their rolls a rating but I read somewhere that somebody claimed they're in the neighborhood of 20-50 micron.

The cost is better, too. $0.18/ft for the ClariSea rolls vs $0.15/ft for the Hmahli rolls (although I got mine on sale for $0.12/ft)

I had to find a different solution for mounting the clean side of the roll, though. See photos...

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
