This is news to me, and I have studied my XP3s very carefully. What is the source of the bypass, in your opinion?
dodge4x4man68 is my brother...granted he doesnt have much tact when in discussions but just to set the record straight he owns 4 eheims and 3 fluvals...the eheims are not being used at this time and are stored for backups...eheim is over-rated and over priced...I myself have 3 set ups and use renas on them...my brother offered to give me 2 of his 2028 eheims but I said no...but get this now they banned my brother for contradicting one of the mods here...is this not what a forum is for? contrasting opinions? granted the way he went about it may have been wrong but he did nothing to be banned from this site...and for the mod who banned him, cant you take criticism? you arent the einstein of the fish keeping world but you probably think you are huh? I stand behind what my brother said, he is no beginner in this field and could probably teach a few of the mods here a thing or 2.
I myself have 5 rena xp3s all packed with media fashioned after the 2026/28 and 2217. I don't see the poteintal for bypass as long as assembled properly(these are designed much like the 2026/28s). The next cansister I will buy though will be the 2217 because they are the best value in canisters at this time.
And why bump after only a minute

but just to set the record straight he owns 4 eheims and 3 fluvals...unlikely
the eheims are not being used at this time and are stored for backups...eheim is over-rated and over priced...yet you suppossedly own 3 of them
I myself have 3 set ups and use renas on them...my brother offered to give me 2 of his 2028 eheims but I said no...
but get this now they banned my brother for contradicting one of the mods here...dought it was just for contradicting the mods
is this not what a forum is for? contrasting opinions? yes it is, but just posting random contradictions with no proof or info is useless
granted the way he went about it may have been wrong but he did nothing to be banned from this site...and for the mod who banned him, cant you take criticism? you arent the einstein of the fish keeping world but you probably think you are huh? I stand behind what my brother said, he is no beginner in this field and could probably teach a few of the mods here a thing or 2. not worth commenting on

why is it unlikely? would you like pics to back up what I say?? I am not one in the same...I dont like to take things for free when he will need them sooner or later...get this now hahaha you spelled it dought lol it is spelled doubt so maybe before you run the yap maybe you should try hooked on phonics...what other proof does someone need other than personal experience...your opinions are nonsense and without merit

dodge4x4man68=dodgeman68
its called email...you can send pics to others...I am trying to go slow so I dont lose you here...nah pics wouldnt prove anything just that hes got em...I understand...have you bought (lol) what I recommended?
So the difference between mechanical and bio filtration confuses me. I understand the principle obviously, one is great for filter out the crap in the water (mechanical) and the bio will remove toxins and holds the good bacteria that the tanks needs.
So this being said, I have a Fluval 304, which would this be considered? It is running on a 55g right now, and from all I can tell it works great. Also, is it considered not enough to have 1 do it all filter? I see so many people running multiple filters on tanks, again I understand the idea, more filter = more filtration, more filtration = better water quality. But, is this necessary?
On the same topic, is there a preferred media layout in something like a 304. Currently I am running pre-filter in the bottom basket, 1 carbon bag and 1 clearmax bag bag in the middle basket (since it has two slots) and bio max in the top basket. Is this a good setup, would something else work better?
Along the same lines, I have heard that to much carbon in the filter is not good, so because the baskets are so tall I was considering adding 2 bags of each in the middle basket, they would fit with room to spare, but would this be too much media in the filter?
Sorry so many questions...
