I have had saltwater setups with canisters and i have had cichlids with hang on top canisters. This is my first time with a 3 stage canister filter. How should i set up the media?
Looks like i want to set up the
Bottom layer with a foam filter mesh
Middle layer with carbon and amino lock in a big media mesh bag
Top with bio balls and or ceramic or i have seen people stuff scrubbing sponges in them like 15 of them they are porous and bacteria can grow on them.
My tank is a 55 sand bottom and no live plants?
Currently running a marineland HOT filter with no issues
Just asking how i should set up my canister?
Thanks
