Hi everyone
I just got my 46 gallon fishtank and I decided that I want to put in the Hamburger Mattenfilter system. I have all the parts for it, but I have trouble finding the right foam filter for it. I have been looking all over the place. It has to be about 1 3/4-2 inches thick and 8.5x19.5 inches. Here is a picture of it. Any help is appreciated.

welcome to fishlore! unfortunately, i don't know of that filter system, but would it be possible to buy the filter material and cut it to fit your filter?

Yes it is. It's actually a big piece of foam that you cut your self ,my problem is that I can't find the size and the thickness. I found some littleones but they are way to small.

Hamburger Mattenfilter is very common in Germany and Europe! That's how it supposed to look.
If anyone is interested in the set up let me know.

do you need to find a place in Germany selling it?

I can speak germany. I want to get it from here .I just can't believe that I can't find it anywhere.
Shipping from germany is little expansive and the whole set up is supposed to be very cheap.
Someone has to have a filter like that I just have to finde it.
There is a english version to the whole setup (for the people that don't know german)
Thanks

You could try using google to search for filter foam in germany.. also, try www.hagen.com - i think Hagen makes a lot of products in Europe.
