    These filters work great unless you use the micro filtration pad [ white one ] it will plug up in a few days. I layer coarse foam, ceramic rings on bottom and get finer as you go up. Top basket with carbon ammocarb etc with fine foam on top and bottom of media.

    Lot's of work, poor results. I bought a second one so I'm now running 2. No better. Both are on a 150 gal tank. Cloudy water and you can see the debris floating around the tank.

    Great Filter 7/17/2012
