Guys.. my question is this: I havhae a Penguin 200 and I got the little thingy from Big Al's that can hold extra media - but I was thinking - the filter has two slots - one for the filter pad and one for extra media. What should I put closer to the bio wheel? The media or the filter pad - I was thinking the pad with the blue floss/charcoal should be in the very front and then the media basket, right, because hopefully all the junk that the filter is sucking up will stop at the filter first - does this make any sense?

thats the way I do it

Thanks Koko..and may I say I am very grateful for your site. It's been so helpful - I know my fish would not have lasted this long without it!
