:help: Hope someone can help me! I recently purchased a Red Sea Nano filter for my 5.5 gallon betta tank (the same thing as the Azoo Palm Filter). The filter works fine, but I'm unhappy with the filter media...nothing more than a couple of mechanical filtration pads. Do they make a media bag with activated carbon/ammo chips for the Nano or does anyone have any idea how to modify what I have?

I'd simply store the carbon until necessary. They're simply used to remove tannins, chemicals, odor and other contaminants. The only filter media I'd put there are sponges and filter floss.

I agree, the carbon isn't necessary, and certainly not the ammo chips if the tank/filter is cycled. I just kept the biosponge and some floss in my Red Sea Nano, and it worked great for over a year, until I upgraded my 2.5 gal to a larger tank and needed a bigger filter.
If you really want to run carbon, though, you could put some in a piece of pantyhose and put it in the filter.

always put your own bio media and a little bag of chemical. in that small of tank i think its best just to use the sponges as mechanical filtration and just do big water changes.
