So here's the deal, I have a brand new Fluval FX5 for my 100 gallon turtle pond. The thing is it has three large media baskets for just about anything. Any suggestions on what I should put in there? I figure one should be carbon, but what about the other two? Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Ceramic rings I guess.

Carbon would be last or not at all... bio and mechanical media all the way.

My setup is as follows for my FX5:
Top: Blue medium-course mechanical filter pad.
Middle: Lava Rock rubble
Bottom: BioMax ceramic rings

The most important media is the mechanical (sponges) and biomedia (ceramic rings, etc.). Chemical media (carbon) is the least important. If you've got extra space, add more biomedia.
