Oh yeah that's what I'm gonna do. I'll be buying the XP4 motor with o rings to place on top of my original XP3 canister. Thanks.

I think I heard it was the same motor but I have not been able to confirm it.

Yes I spoke with a gentlemen from PlanetRena a few days ago and he said moving up or down 1 level is fine. Before I purchase, I will double check though.

Does it have to be bio-chem stars? There are several different options for bio media.

The bio rings are the same as the stars. You can get any brand. The only differences will be shape, price, and packaging but they all work the same.

How much to put in? As much as you can fit. You really cannot have too much bio media.
