Hello all.

My water box has an In-tank basket with a black filter pad on top(R-100) followed by a chemi pure blue followed by media bag with. i was looking at different options on how to change the top portion of the basket. What does everyone else use on there AIO filter baskets??
 
Filter floss above the black filter pad.
i tried using a filter floss pad and it would start to drain the filter compartments in the back and fill my tank up almost overflowing it within 45 mins of putting it in...i would want to change it every other day if I could
 
Filter floss above the black filter pad.
So I have got a solution for this fix. I literally went and cleaned everything in my tank and did a 90% water change and put marine land filter pad the half white and blue stuff on there and it was a night and day difference the tank looks amazing now

Did this resolve the water level issues too??
 
the filter pad is just not as fine filter material as filter floss. filter floss I feel like is a quick fix to the problem
Did you notice a change in clarity/particulates in your tank using this, vs floss, vs the stock filter sock?
