I also ordered a larger hob filter for the office tank until it gets upgraded to the 50 cube.
I went with a Penguin bio wheel made for 30-50 gallon tanks.
Also went with the refillable cartridges and marineland carbon to fill those cartridges.
As well as the stock cartridges with the filter floss and carbon combined on those.
Going to run the setup with the stock filter floss/carbon cartridge in front and the refillable cartridge FULL of carbon in the back.

It’s a really nice filter. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for those links at the bottom, I’m gonna grab a couple of those refillable ones I think.

After reading reviews of the filter on Amazon I noticed one consistent complaint and that is the stock filters only come with 2 or 3 rows of carbon while there's 5 or 6 rows for carbon.
So quite a few of the reviewers insist on just getting the refillable ones and jug of carbon so you can fill the entire cartridge and also use filter floss or buy the stock filters to run up front for the filter floss, to catch extra debris, fish waste and food.
