OK C Chicxulub ,
I appreciate all the info. I'm going on Amazon to see if I can find Biomax. I have so much in my Amazon cart for my fish tank already. lol

Thanks Krismo962 Krismo962 and BIG-G BIG-G ,
I like the idea of using a sponge material like that. It could catch the larger particles before it runs through my floss type cartridge. Its even better knowing that it can hold BB also.

Hello,

I'm getting a couple of Marineland-Penguin 350. There are 4 slots for media/filters and it comes with only 2 floss type cartridges. It also has 2 bio wheels. This leaves 2 slots empty. What would you put in the empty slots. Please give me some ideas. Thanks?

I have a few ML 350b and i use sponges with media bags full of ceramic rings on top of the sponges. Works well for me, but I would absolutely ditch the cartridges, just not all at once. Don’t want to crash the system

Hi J Joshuakahan ,
Thanks for the input. Are you stacking the sponges and medium bags on top of each other or in seperate slots. Also, why should I ditch my cartridges? I'm also about to cycle my tank from scratch.

I stack one of each in each slot, I found that fluval 304 sponges fit pretty good, so I put one on the bottom on each side with the media bags on top. I used plastic bio balls but I found they float and push the top open, the rings work much better
