seabass Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Generally, yes you can use the stock filters until you upgrade. However, I would probably remove any biological media. Also, people often remove foam filters. Foam needs to be kept clean, which is why many people prefer using disposable filter floss instead. As far as media for an inTank basket, I'd use their filter floss and a bag of decent activated carbon (like Seachem Matrix Carbon). You can add a little Seachem Phosguard to it if you need help controlling phosphate. Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I like to use filter floss(not pillow stuffing but the sheet floss), purigen, and Kent carbon. I like Kent carbon as it has next to no dust. Phosguard I use as needed. Quote Link to comment
