I have a 55 gallon tank with a ac300 and a new fluval 305. It comes with filter media but I was wondering if other media work better. For instance, I'm thinking about replacing the carbon with purigen since I won't have to replace it as often and I don't know what to put in the other two baskets. BTW this is my first canister filter so I'm kinda noobish.

Either SeaChem Matrix or Efhi SubstratePro

:iagree:
If money is an issue Matrix is an excellent bio media, Efhi Substrate PRO is just as, if not better then matrix, but is 3-4X the cost.
 
Alrite thanks for the replies. I'm probably going to go with the 2 foam pieces, then purigen, then seachem matrix. BTW how much purigen do you all think I will need for the 305?
 
i stuffed mine full of pot scubbers works perfect
