I have extra media in my AquaClear 70. Is that bad?

Question

Will it not do its best now? Maybe break it? I have the Aquaclear floss, the carbon, and the bio-max in additional to the extra media: Algone above the AquaClear floss, then a layer of aquarium (cut-your-own) floss above that, and then another floss between the carbon and the bio-max. Then a vertical floss on the left of the horizontal stuff. Will the filter be bad now?

Answer 1

How do you fit all that in there? Lol.

It's not bad to have too much stuff in there, but if you have way too much stuff, it could restrict the water flow.

That's the only bad thing that could happen.

E-mail me for any questions!

Answer 2

you don't need all that. just use aqua clear sponge, it lasts forever, bio-max and carbon or ammo chips. you could forget the carbon and put poly fill in for extra filtration

just squeese out sponge once a month and rinse beads in used aquarium water.
