Its a fluval 305 (I think). Running carbon, phosphate something (brownish red stuff in a media bag) - just started with this in the last cleaning, ammonia and bio filters (2 different types), I'm at work and dont remember offhand. I've been running phosphate stuff in the canister for about 3 months now, the stuff I'm using now is the first time with it. Last cleaning was 2 1/2 weeks ago, cleaned 2 of the pads, replaced 2. I clean every 4 weeks, replace media every cleaning.

A few months ago I realized I was not properly dealing with the canister, but with the changes I made, the tank has cleaned up substantially, except the red stuff seems to have really taken off.

I do rinse all my foods, mix up every couple of days, add selcon and garlic to food, keep refrigerated. Approx once per week I will feed the shrimp, but now that there are fish in the tank again, this doesn't seem required as they are catching food.

I will try to reduce feedings to once every other day...fish are not going to like me....
