Just wanted to make sure that my filter is running to the best of its ability so I wanted to share my set up. It’s a heavily planted tank.
Firstly, I changed the pre filter foams to coarse 30ppi.
In the first tray I added a medium (blue) sponge and fine (white) sponge which I cut up myself.
The next three trays have Biohome ultimate.
The last tray has a bag of Seachem purigen and a carbon sponge on top which again I cut up myself from a sheet.
Is this set up correct, do I have too much media? On the Green Aqua set up they have got rid of the blue sponges in the bottom two trays, filled with Seachem Matrix and they change the last tray with fine filter mesh.
