Hi Guys just wanted to ask a question that probably is silly to yall. Im setting up my 75  gallon and cant figure out the order that the carbon, pads, and filter items go on my rena. Got it second hand and trying to figure it out. Need to know what goes from the bottom to the top. Thanks

It came with Foam 20 - (20 ppi - pores per inch) and Foam 30 - (30 ppi - pores per inch) that goes in the bottom tray. It also came with Bio-Chem Zorb which is for chemical filtration. Lastly it came with Micro-Filtration Pad that is supposed to polish the water and goes on the top.

Its all good. There are alot of different configuraions that you can use. What I listed is what it came with new.  

With the three you have: Biorings on bottom. Carbon in Middle. Microfilter on top
