By in front of I meant closest to the outtake on the filter, after re-reading my post I thought it may sound confusing.

On a side note I thought I would let people know that the 10 gallon kits that walmart sells now have a little “bio” insert in front of the normal cartridge so that you can just remove the carbon and not hurt your beneficial bacteria residing on the 2nd cartridge (looks like […]
I keep getting page load errors But the name sounds familiar. I have drifted away from the magic part and more into the balloon art stuff in the last few years. I have been doing balloon art for 30 years, but only seriously the last 3-4. By the way, I did a […]
Your biological media should be placed after the mechanical media that removes debris from the water. Placing it before the mechanical media means that it will be also doing part of the job of that media, as well as the biological filtration, and thus need to be cleaned often. If you are using chemical filtration […]
ROTF!!! You two crack me up!!! Let’s all say “GREEN” together and then go pay for our cap and trade credits!!! LOL Winter here really slows down the mileage on all our cars. Yesterday we barely got around locally…that’s within 5 miles of […]
Yes, the microscopic nitrifying bacteria live on all surface areas where there is a supply of oxygenated water. However, since all of the tank’s water flows through the filter system several times an hour, the overwhelming majority of the nitrifying bacteria will reside there since that’s where all the food is passing by on […]

As far as the fishless cycling, if you were starting up a new tank and were planning on getting all new fish for the new tank, then fishless cycling the new tank and using some of your old tank’s filter media would be a good idea but since you are simply upgrading the fish from […]
thanks for the reply Edgar. The waterfall we have is only 4 1/2 foot high and the water flows a little too quickly, I think, so adding a new, deeper waterfall form (something we wanted to do from day one and add media to that too) and a ball valve might do the trick. […]
The japanese matting is used for both mechanical and biological filter. I have one section of the filter system of approximately 50 gal. with about 1.5 cubic foot of matting used for mechanical filtering. Then the cleaning water flows up through basket filled with lava rocks and then to the second section of the filter […]
