So I finally made the jump and switched the HOB filter to an XP1 on my 20 gallon. I did have a few questions about how it is all setup though.
First, it came with the packet of activated carbon but it doesn't look like there is room in the filter for it to fit with the foam pads (only for XP1 mind you). I was just curious if anyone has figured a way to add it or if you have to remove the pads to add it (in which case I probably won't bother as I prefer the foam over the carbon)?
Also, I'm trying to figure out how to rig up my inline co2 reactor to the output side of the filter and wondered if anyone had any suggestions for putting it together? The main problem is that I have to have it in an N formation for the reactor to work properly but tight bends don't let itself well to proper flow.
thanks much!
