i just got my FX5 and have yet to get any media for it. i was wondering how most of you setup your FX5s as far as the media in the inner chambers. i was thinking mostly biological as it will be for fw rays and i will have other smaller fluvals on their i can use for chemical.
 
I'm hoping the foam pads do most of my mechanical filtration.
I've got 500g of fluval ceramic prefilter media in the top and 500g of fluval biomax ceramic in the other two. I've also got a media bag of 250ml purigen in the middle basket ontop of the biomax.

Is a 180g (US measurement) and I've also got an Eheim prof 2329 for more biological filtration. (oscars, gt's and 2 polyps).
