Confused on what to connect where...
0
I just got a Tetra water pump (325) and the Tetra Submersible Flat Box Filter for my 150 goldfish pond... but I'm a little lost on the connections. As I understand, I connect the black corrugated hose to the only connection that fits on the box filter, and then that tube to another connection on the side of the pump itself (under that removable plastic thing, right? What is that for, if I can't leave it on?) using another connector bit? But then what about the hole on the top of the pump, if I'm not planning to put a fountain or anything? Is it OK to leave open? Thanks for your advice! I kinda guessed this from the videos on the Tetra website, but it only shows it with a fountain or other thing on top, so I wasn't sure.

Also, I forgot to ask, does it matter for the filter pads if the green or the black is on top? Is it possible to add biomedia? If so, what do you all recommend?

I've never seen a filter or pump that come with 0 directions.
Picture if it helps. http://www.amazon.com/SF1-Submersibl.../dp/B0024EFYU6
The opening on top of the pump is to attach the sprayer, I assume.

It does come with directions, but there is no picture/explanation on what to do if you DON'T use a fountain or whatnot, so I don't have a "for sure" if it;s OK to leave just open.
Only black and white shot of one of the filter pads, so that is still unanswered, as is my question on adding any possible biomedia.

Small filters such as these require cleaning as much as 3 times a week during the hot months. You will be better served just using it with the pads it has as any thing else will simply restrict flow and lead to the eventual failure of the pump from starvation. If you rinse the media in unclorinated water it will act as biomedia.
