Hi guys... I was just wondering about the small plastic piece that fits on the bottom of the aquaclear filters in particular the 70 & 110... I believe it's made to balance the filter and have it sit evenly flat against the back... Is that the only purpose? What is it really for and do I need to...

Hi guys... Just a quick question... I just setup my 125g a couple weeks ago... I ran the aquaclear 110 that has previously been run on the same tank before it was transferred here so it has established media. My eheim 2260 is running along with the ac110. The ac110 is helping seed the eheim...
