	Fluval 203 Canister HELP!
sly Big Fish Posts: 377 Kudos: 251 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jun-2004	I have a bag of Ultra Fine Carbon for the canister but its too small to fit in the compartments. Is there anything at a LFS to keep it from falling through? [span class="edited"][Edited by sly 2004-07-04 19:09][/span]

sly Big Fish Posts: 377 Kudos: 251 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jun-2004	I"m curious as to how much carbon I should put in the mesh bag I've bought? Should it fill up the cylinder? The mesh bag is long and slim..
