Wow a manual! Imagine that!
I think he was looking for this
"MODEL 330 ONLY
Fill Media Baskets with filter media of
choice. Slide Media Baskets down into
filter box behind cartridges (Fig. )4"

the manual tells you how to do it like you are supposed to not to retrofit it as a carbon basket.
The easiest thing i can think of is just to get a micromesh bag, take out the filter and put in the bag and fill it up??
I did a search and didn't see any one retrofitting anything or for that matter why you would want to..

First off if in the 22,000 messages and if it's only been posted once..it's probably not too true.
I have read tons of things about bio wheels being nitrate factories, blah blah, sand is nitrate foctories, fish are, Hell Empty your tank! IT's ALL NITRATE FACTORIES!
Get rid of your nitrate and what you get? Nitrite! that is BAD.
If you have a lot of nitrate. Usually that means you had a lot of nitrite! Which means you have a lot of amonia to convert.
Ultimately you want to cure the source which is amonia..
The best way to do this is keep your filter clean.
Keep your filter the way it is, Add some carbon to the media basket.
Alternate cleaning filters once a week.
You'll be fine...If you keep up your nitrates, think "I have to reduce amonia" in the back of your head.
