You can use any filter floss, doesn't have to be their name brand. Why do you want to replace it? They should last a long time if you just rinse them out in used tank water. Unless its falling apart, it can be used.

Are you trying to remove medication or tannins with the carbon? If not, there is really no need to have it.
