do you have any sponge filters? They do the mechanical and some bio. Most people as far as I know don't waste the space with carbon and find regular water changes much better. Some floss padds work great also to really clear up the water. What size tank?
its a 5x2x2 atm whilst im building my 8x4x2. yeah they both have the normal foan and some small triangle bits in. i do very frequent water changes so i mak do away with carbon and ammonia remover now thanx
yeah, ditch the carbon & ammonia remover, you can replace with ceramic rings,which IMO work better in canisters than scrubbies, biomax is fine since you alreay have it. just make sure you have a foam or sponge in there somehwere
Ya im tryn to convert my brother over to regular water changes but he uses carbon and ammonia remover and does a WC about twice a year LOL. Your arow will be very happy with a 50% weekly and the space used for bio would be good. I have heard alot of good things about the EHEIM EHFISUBSTRAT PRO as well
I like the Eheim media I think it's is as good as it gets for canister media. I'm not a fan of Eheim canister filters I think their underpowered, but I have no problem using their media in most of my cans.
thanx for the help guys i plan on getting two eheim 2252 i think it is. for my larger tank when its finished.
