I was wondering if "HOB" filters were suitable for the small marine aquaria (10g or less) ?Such as the whisper series filters.
 
They're useful for providing some circulation, but the media they come with is better replaced w/ LR rubble unless you're trying to remove some meds or color producing crud - then add carbon temporarily. Azoo Palm & the like have been employed in several nano tanks.
 
How about the use of carbon in the filter padding is this alright?
