filtration for planted 10-gal

I think I've gotten some of the dumbest Otos on the planet. They get into everything and get stuck.

Don't make fun of me, I love my fishies. This one was from the first batch born to my boyfriend (technically, his fish, not him) in 1st year when we lived in residence. I also lost one of the "original" females less than 2 weeks ago, but I know she was just getting old and tired of being hit on all the time.

On a brighter note, I'm back in Brampton, and the water's nicer, more like KH 6. I was doing water changes with a Brita Filter pitcher for 3 months! And my infamous Barclaya is coming back, I have about 5 leaves, 1-2inches and RED :) :) I'm also waiting for my order from Ottawa Aquatics, incl some Glosso. Can't wait! (Although I've been waiting for it for about 2 months now - Note: don't order from there if you're impatient)

I think I'll order a filter today, thanks guys.
 
Set-up of AC mini

My AC mini arrived today. I didn't want to start a new thread, but I have a question. It comes with a sponge and carbon. Since I'm not using the carbon, all I have to put into it right now is the one sponge. This only fills up the compartment halfway. Is this ok? Does it need to be filed with media all the way to the top?
Thanks :)
