Today I was doing nothing I was wondering for my filtration so I think to do an upgrade to 1 of my internal filter...
I have 2 internal filters the black one is mechanical on down floor and bio upper floor.
The yellow one is all mechanical and I think to put one more floor with bio.
Look the photos and tell me your suggestions and if there is pros and cons on all this...
Mention that I don't have any issues or problems with water or measurement but like most of us want the best of the best.

It's up to you since you stated that your water parameters are good. If your Piranha were juveniles I would have suggested adding more Biomedia. Maybe add more mechanical.

Those 2 is pretty much enough even like this now but I want to do something new..yes my parameters are very good bit
Why you say that with juveniles and adults ? I think that know ad more messy in tank because many times fighting and do the water like muddy lake also at the feeding time has more food to eat about 400 grams of frozen fish....
I like to know more details if you know something ?
 
As the fish grow the bioload would increase. I suggest don't over feed and always remove uneaten food asap.

So your opinion is like to do it and ad the bio floor with the yellow mechanical also I suppose?
Yes yes I already do this every time but Thnx god I never have extra remaining food anymore... I feed every 3 days???
