Keeping hoses to the shortest length is the best idea. Ideally, they would be equal in lengths if the situation permitted it. The output hose being the shortest is your second best option if you cannot maintain equal minimal hose lengths. My friend's 2217 came with a lot of media. I prefer to...

No need for the carbon; keep it just in case. A lot of people just do not use those plastic bio-balls and replace them with more ceramic media. If you mean the polishing pad by "foam" then you can leave it in there and it might catch a lot of fine debris and clog up in a couple of weeks. The...

That being said, I have researched the C series( particularly the C-530) and have noticed that their owners say good things about them. I might get...

I have the 2026 and it is almost dead silent. In fact, it is over a foot away from my bed.
