so do the packaging comes with the filter media or not? because i got mine and it doesnt have the filter media...
 
Best advice i got from other members when i first got my 2262 was to use poret foam from swiss tropicals cut to fit... best stuff for mech.
 
cool thanks guys i thought i got scammed by not having the filter media as i thought they came with the packaging lol..
 
This is how I set mine up. All my media is from ehiem.

I put this in the very bottom.

Then my coco puffs as they call it.

Yeah I've never had any problems. I also run an Fx-5 on this tank well, along with some Aquaclear 110s. So I have various kinds of media I use.
 
cool.. so u only use 3 media? are they good enough?

Good enough for sure. I run a few if these filters as well. It's a bit cheaper to fill it with generic bio media since the cans hold so much (awesome but spendy). Pond Matrix in Walmart laundry bags are how I set mine up.
