International customers, I ship USPS Priority Mail International, which comes with tracking. The first pound is by far the most costly to ship (~$30), while each extra pound adds about $4-5 depending on country. There are size limits and the largest box possible is usually 26x20x20" (65x50x50 cm) or 20x20x8 (50x50x20 cm).
Please, note that as a business I have to declare the actual merchandise value. Consequently, your country's customs may impose import duties or taxes, which are your responsibility.

*The exact size of some tanks varies and cutting the foam to fit one makes them useless for others. To avoid troubles, I ship you the indicated sizes that you can trim down to fit your tank or simply bend it like I did in my fishroom. Note: folded foam will take 1-2 days to recover its shape, so lay it on a flat surface. Corners pushed in by shrink wrapping can be gently pulled back into shape by hand or left alone to recover.
Did you know that HMF are the most cost effective filters? If not you might be interested to view this comparison chart.

How to order and payment options:
To order click on the "Add to Cart" button, which takes you to PayPal for an encrypted transaction, which provides security and protection for buyer and seller. You do not need a paypal account to pay with a credit card, PayPal will accept your card and handle the transaction! Please, make sure your shipping address with PayPal is current. If you want to pay by cashier's check or money order, please inquire via Email. Orders placed by 8 pm ET are usually shipped the next business day. The tolerance for cutting is about 1/2 cm (1/4 in). Measure your tanks before you order, not all tanks are the same dimension, even if called a 10 or 20 gal tank! Email me if you have any questions.
Inquiries for wholesale are welcome:
Wholesale requires a minimum order volume of 39"x39"x20" of foam. Brick and mortar retail stores are exempt from the minimum volume, however, we require proof of a business licence and will verify the business address.
We can provide customized Poret® foam sheets or parts in porosities 10-45 PPI, in several colors and many shapes starting from about 1 skid (volume 40x40x80") as below. Contact me to discuss your application needs.
