Hi All,
Serviced my canister yesterday (Fluval 406) and at the last minute decided to go without the fine pads on top. Anyone else do this? I was thinking that they probably get clogged very soon after putting the filter back into service, and then do nothing but limit flow. Here's what I have now:
- foam prefilter in tank
- coarse white foams (stock)
- black foam (stock)
- bio-media (stock ceramic)
- pot scrubbies
- 2x carbon bags (replace every 2-3 months)
- pot scrubbies
- 2x purigen (swap for recharged every 2-3 months)
- pot scrubbies
