Just looked at how the 250 works. I would remove blue pad and white floss pad. Then attach open cell foam around the pipe that takes water to the filter. This is now your mechanical pre filter. No need to open the filter to clean it and more time between filter cleans. Buy some plastic pot scrubbers. In each basket pack a ring of them around the basket wall and insert a small bag of bio Rio or siporax in the middle. Pot scrubbers have great surface area but superior flow. This should increase flow for you nicely for £2
Myself and others use nothing but plastic pot scrubbers with excellent results and great flow. Ceg tried green plastic army figures and Lego with no detrimental effect and proved that bacteria aren't aware of the fancy media names and sales jargon. They will grow on anything. My 2217 is full of £4 of media
