cascade 1500 help

[CHUPA CABRA]

i have a cascade 1500 and i added biomax and i want to know if is in the right order?
this is how i have it right now, at bottom basket micro sponge, next one up is the carbon, next two i have filter media (the blue and white that you buy at petco), and the last two at the very top is the biomax.
is this the right order? or should i do something different?

I'd dump the carbon and add more bio media. Bio Max is good i use it myself. Ehfi Substrat Pro is also very good. I've heard good things about Matrix also. The blue and white that you buy at petco, is it this (https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4136+4231&pcatid=4231).

On my 404; I did this with media Bio Max/Ceramic Pre-filter rings, BioMax/BioMax, Ehfi SubstratPro/BioMax, Ehfi Substrat Pro/Aquarium River Rocks Gravel.

yes thats the blue and white stuff, ok i will get rid of the carbon and add more biomax\ceramic filter rings
so do i have everything in the right order? the biomax at the top and the filter pads at the bottom?

you have it setup ok. I would agree on dumping the carbon unless you a smelly tank or brown looking water. I have the prefilter and then every backet is full with bio media. I use matrix by Seachem and find it to be a great.
