Re: Which way does the filter go?

[Stan]

The filter cartridge goes in the back and the media basket goes in the
front. You cannot fit two media baskets on the same side, they do not fit.
You could put the media basket in the back and the cartridge in the front,
if you want to...but usually this is not done.

I put plain old floss in my media baskets that I get at walmart. I reuse
the cartridges for years, just rinsing them out good.....

I think we have 'front' and 'back' mixed up. With the Empore 400 hung on the
tank I am calling the 'front' the side that has the intake tube, and the
bio-rollers facing me. The 'back' is the part that hangs over the outside
rear.

Please comment? and thanks.
