I have a Fluval U2
I'm modding it (see other thread if your interested)
Basically in the two outer cases im removing the carbon preset, and replacing it with poly sponge (think its called that ) its the finer sponge. So would it be best to have the finer sponge make contact with the water first (outside) or second (inside)


I hope this makes sense!

Cheers
 
Personally, I prefer to have the finer stuff on the outside, as I feel that will mean my biomedia stays clearer for longer, and so needs less cleaning with less disruption of my bateria, but it probably doesn't make all that much diffrence.
 
I would put the finer media closet to the middle. The one on the outside needs cleaning more often as it picks up the rubbish in your tank. However as fluttermoth said, it doesn't make all that difference
 
Okay good, thanks for that. Just wondered if i put them the wrong way round then the world could end or something!

Thankssss
 
Inside, nearest to the middle cartridge, where the carbon one used to be positioned :)
