I have two external filters for my tank.
Filter 1 is used as a conventional filter.
Filter 2 has been more of a circulation pump , albeit a slightly under-powered circulation pump.
In the process of a tank revamp, I've added some filter floss to Filter 2 and, when trying connecting a gravel pump, it turns out to be even more underpowered than I thought. I'm guessing the floss, being more restrictive, doesn't help, so it got me thinking about what order the filter media is in.
So I'm thinking bio balls in Basket D and the most open foam in Basket E, then Medium foam in A and B and filter floss in C.
Does that make sense, or would it be better to have the filter media more evenly distributed?
