## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the dimensions of this item? Looking for at a black filter about 11/2"-2" thick, and can be cut in a strip about 1" wide and about 4' long**
A: It's about 6"x6" square and 1" thick. I didn't measure, but that's within a half inch on the side measurements, and a quarter inch of the thickness1. So, no, you won't be able to get a 4' strip from it. You can buy filter material that is not cut down so small already, so that you can make custom shapes/sizes. I don't know of any that come large enough to make a 4', but perhaps a place that sells to professional aquariums would carry stuff that big.

**Q: Do these contain carbon?**
A: This product does not contain carbon.

**Q: which kind of material is this foam? PU or Others**
A: I am afraid I don't know the answer to your question, sorry!

**Q: Can use with aquion filter**
A: I do not know, they would have to be the same dimensions.
