I have used similar things and they seemed to be fine. I did notice once though with small sponges I had used for a pond  bio-filter was that there was a soap added to the sponge. No harm to the pond or fish but a potential hazard. Another area you could find a similar pads is floor buffing pads. When I worked in tool rental we sold three different grades.

Thanks for the speedy reply. Im worried about over flow if the pads are too fine and cant accommodate the speed of the water flow. Also can these be cleaned or do you have to replace them when they get clogged?

You will definitley have solid waste build up. I resue them and wash them out.

Hi Jovan,

Try searching spaghetti matting without backing.
