so, i can ditch the carbon and replace it with a sponge?... i've just had
your basic floss and carbon corner filter (10G) and it hasn't done me wrong
yet... should i perhaps mention i'm not the most compulsive filter
changer/tank maintainer?

ps. newtron is still alive. d.p.f #2 looks lonely in his little tank.

Hi,

I have some questions about the filter media in my top filter.

Below is the filter media that I currently use :
Top layer : Green Floss
Second layer : Active Carbon
Last layer : Bio - Foam

Is my arrangement correct and what is the proper sequence of layer?

You don't need/want the carbon unless you are trying to remove medication
from the water. It will pull everything out (including any plant
fertilizer). Also it will last a maximum of 2-3 weeks before it stops
working - after that it just becomes extra bio-media.
