I'm currently using some floss-type stuff (that came with my filter) and a coarse black sponge (also came with it) and some bio-balls that i had from another filter...

my question is mostly about the floss type stuff... should this stuff be loosely spread out in there, or crammed in, or just a moderate amount? I would guess moderate, as it seems to me that if it's crammed in there i would slow down the flow rate, and if there's not enough it wouldn't do it's job well... i suppose the same goes for most other media in the chambers. Am i right, or is my logic flawed?

at first i thought 'the more the better'... but flow rate should be a big consideration, right?

thanks!

You are on the right track. at the lfs you can get the floss in sheet form and just cut it to size, its easy and a neat fit.
