ND Aquatics 4x2x2 with Eheim 2075

Plenty of people have asked me about my tank, cabinet, and filter combination (does it all fit comfortably, what's the flow like, etc). Here's the video to hopefully clear those questions up. I intend on adding a duplicate filter/heater set up on the other side of the tank shortly. Tank is still cycling hence no livestock yet.

How to Replace Eheim Pro II Canister Filter Carbon Pad?

I bought an Eheim Pro II Canister Filter that has always worked really well, but I would like to put a carbon filter pad in it.

I have a carbon pad that is especially made for the Eheim filters, but I have no instructions whatsoever on where I should put it within the filter!

Below is a pic of a normal Eheim setup, but my filter has an extra gray media bucket in between the top media bucket with a white pad and the bottom media bucket with the blue pad (on top):

So I just want to see if I put the pad in place of something, or between the white and blue pad, or what?

Thanks for any help!

Eheim External Filter Professionel Complete Special Edition-2222?

i want to get this type of filter but i'm not sure about the capacity, my tank holds 100 liters would this type of filter be to big for it i'm sure about this filters liters per minute because i read somwhere that > "choose a filter which can turn over the entire aquarium volume between 2 to 6 times every hour with 4 times an hour being a good average rule of thumb" would this filter be able to do that?
also if anyone knows any better external filters for fish tanks please let me know.
