Congratulation bro....

Just to share my experience change the activated carbon media to Aqupharm or Rowa, the one in the kit is very lousy.

Also for ceramic ring, I regret it I didn't change it to bio home. Once you dump this ceramic ring it will be very difficult to take out. I try it once but I got lots of ceramic splinters into my fingers and couple cuts.
