You guy's know how the filter has the things the water runs through like spongy things?
well, i haven't changed mine for like 1 year haha, Yes i know bad..
But, i wanna change it, What can i put there instead?
normal sponge? (New one)

can you describe what type of filter are you running?


but i'm sure you did clean it from time to time, otherwise, it will be clogged by
now. most hobbyist do that...maximize the useful life of the media because it contains
the bacteria needed by the tank.

I have cleaned it yes, That would be correct. Haha.
Powerhead

ha ha ha, power is normally used to create agitation of water in the tank.
however, if you set it up with correct cycle, it can deliver the rated
filtering capacity. this is how it should be arrange in the tank:


does it come with the overhead filter box? you can use some media like this:

just add a bag of ceramic rings to allow good water flow. any idea about the
flow rate capacity written in the plate.

i have 3 x 2400LPH running in my 6'x 30" x 24" modified like this:

Yes mine has a box, just like that, So what do i change the spone thingies over???? wont it aftect my water????????

You dont need to change the sponges, just clean them

Alright, Sweet thanks a load, and under the sponged i got like, these little white things and black things? maybe filters out bad stuff?
can you tell me what it is.

difficult to tell unless there is a picture.
if it looks like ceramic tidbits or rings, then,
perhaps it is a bio balls.

There ring shaped yes

then that is host for beneficial bacteria. you could put them at the last stage or
at the discharge point to make them effective.

yeah there at the last point, what does this get out of the water?
as the sponge would be collecting most of the ickky stuff.
What do the rings do?

they provide surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow! anybody that keeps fish can tell you biological filtration is by far teh best kind
