At the first cleaning.....I removed everything and replaced it with my normal media.

I don't see why you couldn't although I live the media that comes with it... I just added them to the tank for a few weeks before taking the old filter out

The filter comes with two methods to use your filter: 1) adhesive tape to adhere the filter to your screen; 2) tabs that adhere to the frame around the screen. I use the tabs. They allow me to slide the filter behind the tabs to install, then remove it when it is not needed. When the filter is installed with the tabs, it remains secured, even with opening and closing.

Do I put the pre-filter on the inside or outside of the regular filter? I don't see it written in the online manual..

None, you must choose the type of filters based on your specific ned, such as dust, organic vapors, etc.

It's a stainless steel permanent filter, but it's not fine. So if you want to add, say a coffee filter, and do the filtering better, but a lot more slowly, you could. It really depends on what you want to use it to filter and store.

You most likely will need a filtering box to make it work. That is what I am using and it works great!

no you have to buy the filtering media separately but trust me we got this for a nasty turtle tank and the thing is crystal clear and you only have to clean the media out like once a month. the media can last about a year if you just take it out and flush it under hot water. best thing is the pump is very quiet and easy to set up the only thing is when you unpack the hoses you might have to twist them the opposite direction because they tend to want to curl SunSun Canister Filter Media SetAbove is the link to what you will want to get it might help to buy 2 of them so that you will be set for a while. by far the best filtration system for the money. no you have to buy the filtering media separately but trust me we got this for a nasty turtle tank and the thing is crystal clear and you only have to clean the media out like once a month. the media can last about a year if you just take it out and flush it under hot water. best thing is the pump is very quiet and easy to set up the only thing is when you unpack the hoses you might have to twist them the opposite direction because they tend to want to curl SunSun Canister Filter Media SetAbove is the link to... » Read More no you have to buy the filtering media separately but trust me we got this for a nasty turtle tank and the thing is crystal clear and you only have to clean the media out like once a month. the media can last about a year if you just take it out and flush it under hot water. best thing is the pump is very quiet and easy to set up the only thing is when you unpack the hoses you might have to twist them the opposite direction because they tend to want to curl SunSun Canister Filter Media SetAbove is the link to what you will want to get it might help to buy 2 of them so that you will be set for a while. by far the best filtration system for the money. « Show Less

My filter did not but the company said it was a mistake so they send me a new one but still it wasn't enough so I would recommend to buy extras and diffrent kinds of media.

Yes it can but, you will need to pick up an adapter the set up the filter........In my opinion not worth the effort

I am about to purchase this but another customer has carefully opened the filter media holder and replaced the active carbon and filter floss with similar filter media used for fish since this is a basic filter. We already have such materials since we do own a 50gal fish tank. So you can go to the pet store and buy what you need rather than buying a brand new filter every month.

of course you can, in fact I never use the permanent filter as I think it is a pain to have to dump the grounds then having to wash the basket out, paper filters in my opinion are better with no mess! but then again there are a lot of people who like the permanent filter basket, I just happen to not be one of them, it is your personal choice, hope this helps.

Yes. It is merely a filter but, as in my application, it is needed. Line placement is printed on it.

I sometimes just set it on a box or something else- the trick with that is positioning the mic just right. The mounting bracket is not that great bc there isn't much space to screw in a mic clip on top. Good filter though

The permanent filter must be ordered separately. I use paper filters which I find cleaner and easily disposable. They are available for very low cost in most grocery stores & supermarkets.
