Is it possible to add a hob filter on the tank to hold your carbon? I was told by a crew member on the WetWeb that carbon ideally must be replaced every 10-14 days. If it is in the Fluval, this can be time consuming and a pain, not to mention that out of sight out of mind kind of thing. I have a set up very similar to yours, and I use the fluval for large particulate removal only. I am faithful in cleaning it once a month with new (recycled) filter pads. I only use it now for this alone, no carbon in the baskets at all, they are left empty.
