I ended up picking up some more food for the this yesterday and decided I should try something other than the two foam filters that I have in the tank right now. Because I have a real low fish count for the size of the tank and the plants are getting more heavy Carbon and along those lines would actually do me more harm that good. So I went with a AquaClear BioMax, and will just rise it out with tank water every time I clean the filter. This will let some good “bacterial colonies” to grow in it and help out in the tank.

BioMAX rings increase a filter’s capacity to create optimal biological water conditions for freshwater and marine aquarium inhabitants. BioMAX are porous ceramic rings that provide the largest surface area and maximum number of pores perfectly sized to accomodate bacterial colonies. They allow these colonies to establish, multiply and thrive, creating the ideal conditions for bacteria necessary to maintain biological balance. One ring has 10 times the biological power of a standard cartridge insert. For best results, BioMAX rings should be placed at the end of the filtration cycle. BioMAX - the biological power pack! 11.5 oz.

I will do a update if I remeber in a few months and see if I think it has helped out at all.
