| Do you carry this? I have no idea what it's called. It goes in my filter in the 6.6g. Do you have it or know where I could get it? Thanks!

| Looks like a filter pad.
You can just go to PetSmart or PetCo, or most other petshops, take this with you, and ask them if they have one just like it.
I'd definitely recommend taking it with you... b/c when I had to get a new BioWheel.... I kept having to go back, b/c it was never the right size.... when I could've easily taken my filter with me... we live and learn.

| Nope, it looks like it's a perfect rectangle. I've checked at Petco several times. But next time I'll take it with me...in a plastic container with fishy water. It's the only one I have and it's got the bacteria on it...

| ok must be the camera angle i bet you can just pick up a regular filter at walmart,measure the filter and match it up, seems most of those are interchangable between filters. all my HOB's take the same one even though they are made by different manufactures.

| It looks like you could easily snip the sides of the original filter pad's plastic frame, get some rubber bands, and use this: Polyester Floss 14oz
to make your own cheap filter pad replacements.
Just sayin'  . That's what I do for filter pad media. PG: DIY Penguin Filter Cartridges - PlantGeek.net |

| Yep, and you can also buy a filter pad a little larger than you need; there are quite a few we carry that are made to be cut to size. You could easily affix one to the frame you have similar to what f8fan said and that would work.
If you're looking for the exact filter pad it might actually be a cartridge. That'd be easiest to find if you know the brand/model of the filter.
Either way it should work for you.
