Never had these types of filters long ago when I had fish. Mine came empty except the hard foam white parts. What else should I put inside? I have two of them for my tank, should I put different stuff in each one or the same stuff. I need some good advise here, my fish are relying on good advice from experienced fishkeepers.
FX5 never had, put what inside?

chemstars, dishpads, ceramic noodles, dont put those filter pads they have, they clof so quick!!!
hes referring to those fine polishing pads. dont use those the clog up fast.
i have 12 scrubbies in the middle and bottom tray and six on the top tray. they seem to have been the best bang for buck.
fluval biomax is good too. i dont know how much you should get.

The only foam I use in my cans is a coarse on the bottom and a water polisher on the top. I put different mixtures of sintered glass and SeaChem Matrix (my favorite for the price) depending on how much I have of what.
Leave the sponges that surround the trays, and then just fill the trays with bio-max. The sponges should be adequate mechanical filtration for almost all tanks, so you can use the rest of the space for purely bio filtration
