    InTank Media Basket for AquaClear 70

    I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the InTank Media Basked. From what i understand, this is a design that forced the flow of water through the sponge and then up through the media, eliminating bypass. So far, the biggest "complaint" i see id that due to the added flow resistance...
