Normally I'll say bio-media like substrate-pro or matrix. But since the biowheel is suppose to growth a ton of BB because of its wet/dry feature, I'll focus more on mechanical and chemical.
emperor 400 media baskets?
- Thread starter Saves
- Start date
Mechanical - Basically any of those white filter floss, don't get any of these pre-filter rings.
Chemical - depending on your application
Odour/Colour - Seachem Matrix Carbon
High pH - Eheim Torf to lower down pH, will give the slight yellow tone to the water that you may or may not like
Clarity - Seachem Purigen

I would also place some bio in the baskets.
Just in case of a power shortage and the wheel drys out, killing all the bacteria on it,
there would still be some submerged in the baskets.
Biological - Seachem Matrix > Eheim Substrate pro > Fluval Biomax
