I get the filter that is pre made, i guess i could get the stuff to make my own filter... My starter kit came with a black foam/sponge looking pad, someone in this thread before said it was probably there to catch big particles.... I'm debating about taking it out..
I think one of those came with my filter too. I used it for the first month but then when i made the cartridge and added the ammonia absorber i couldnt fit it in anymore.
Its a personal choice i guess
