Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2017 10:06 pm Filter Media Question
how's it going guys? I have a quick question about my filter media. I checked the media thread but none of the pictures are showing up so i'm not sure what i'm missing from them. I currently have 1 RES in a 40 gallon breeder tank with a fluval 406 filter.in the top 2 canisters i have ceramic and in the bottom 2 i have carbon. i change the carbon about once every 6-8 weeks and the ceramic not nearly as often (and never all the ceramic at once). the water for the most part is clear so i guess i'm doing it right but def open to suggestions about if things are in the right order or if there's something else out there that could work better (bioballs/matrix/etc). also, i have some polishing pads i'm tired of looking at and was thinking about putting in the filter on my next media change, just wasn't sure if it was worth it and/or where to put them exactly (on top of the first ceramic canister?). As always any and all help is appreciated, thanks!
