Flowing fine!
Report on my Fluval, changing from Top Fin.
Had to wait the month out from my Top Fin filter cleaning change. Didn't want to change the filter systems mid-month. Top Fin sits in the water, for outgoing water, so it is quiet, but you can't tell if its working.
So the Fluval 407 is awesome, but its a waterfall sound effect. I just have to get used to it over time. Good for meditations. But yes, don't need the chemicals. but it came with 2 packages of Phosphate. 4 bags of Charcoal. 2 bags of tube media, and coarse filter and mild filter.
I used the Coarse and lite filter bottom tray of 4. Then tube new rinsed off, media, mixed with my old tube media. 3rd try up, then 2nd tray up, I used me old really good long media, mixed a few new ones in. Then last tray top tray 4th tray, one carbon one side and Poly-Fil on top of it, and the other half side all Poly-Fil.
NEVER START A RUNNING TANK WITH BRAND NEW MEDIA. Always use the older bacteria one and you can mix newer ones pieces in after rising.
So yes, happy for now. 100 gal 407 filter for my 55 tank....it will be pretty clean and using Poly-Fil keeps the water clear.....Hobby Lobby $2.99 Poly-Fil, at Michael's they wanted with tax over $7. so I returned it and grabbed it at Hobby Lobby!!!
