What filter media should I use in my canister filter?
I have a 125g freshwater planted tank. I am using a Rena XP4 canister filter. What media should I put in it? It came with carbon, several form filter pads and some Bio Chem Stars.
Nice tank size have fun…
the best setups for tanks that big are 2 filters..your canister and liek a aquaclear 30 or bigger up top.
the canister you use for biological and cleaning so tons of sponges and ceramics…no carbon or other chemical medias..there never needed anyways…
this way you don;t have to break down the canister every month..but every few months..cripes my eheim i break down every 3-4 months….
Use the HOB for aeration and custom media…the basket inthe aquaclears are perfect..use more sponges and bio-max but if you need to add carbon or ammina lock you simply add it here and dispose of when needed..
the best carbon you can get works for 5 days tops and then becomes a phosphate leaker..but sometimes its needed…(someone who smokes puts there hand in the tank)..simply add the bag to the basket and your good, no need to totally break down the huge canister.
for bio i would use eheim substrat…good stuff.
good luck
