Awesome, thanks again. I know you recommended better alternatives but does it hurt for me to use the 3 I presently have? I dont want to spend if I dont HAVE to. Tight budget haha. Plus I already started filling the tank and it got me all excited.

If you don't have chloramines in your water, you only really need one (1) good quality carbon block. You can lease the other (third prefilter) housing empty. I wouldn't use two 0.5 mic blocks because you'll lose a bit of pressure with each. If you DO have chloramines, go: - 1 mic sediment
- Catalytic GAC (CGAC is much superior than plain old GAC)
- 0.5 mic block
OR
- 1 mic sediment
- 0.5 mic block
- 5 mic block
