I have a 180 with an Eheim 2217 (standard media - efhimech-sponge-substrat pro-pad) and an Eheim 2260 (Efhimech-efhifix(green grass)-efhisupstat pro - 8" nano bioballs - floss)

I am considering removing the nano balls and replacing with Seachem matrix. It is fairly cheap and I feel it might be better media..

Thoughts?
 
Get rid of the bio balls and add more ehfisubstrat pro. There is no better media easily accessible than ehfisubstrat pro.
 
Wyldfya,

Can you advise me on how much of each (ehfi substrat pro/ehfi mech/ehfi fix) you actually need for the 2260 as I have just bought one 2nd hand.

Thanks,
Dave
 
I also forgot to ask what sizes are the inlet and outlet hoses as the filter did not come with any bits and pieces. I will have to buy the double tap connectors and they are not cheap.

Thanks,
Dave
