I just run them with the sponge and bio media they came with. I was wondering what the best media to run in them is?
 
That's what I do with my 2x A.C. 110's. I stuffed 4 additional mesh bags with more ceramic bio media. Some ditch the ceramic media and add more sponges.

I should add I run a big sponge on the intake as well. I was pulling java moss out daily definitely solved the problem.
 
I run three on my 180g. I cut the sponge to half the thickness and then stuffed the rest with biomax. I prefer the fx5/6 biomax than what comes with the ac110 as that one crumbles very easily.
 
Attaching a sponge on the intake tube is a very good option, allowing for more surface area for BB, as well as acting as a strainer. A technique often used by breeders.
 
I run mine with the sponge and some ceramic bio-noodles. AC110 still the best HOB filter on the market.
