Just purchased aqua clear 50. Any suggestions on filter media or what it comes with is sufficent? I see they have other inserts.
 
Just use the sponge and ceramic media. No real need for the carbon unless you are removing medications from the water column.
Optional: In the extra space you can add more mechanical media such as filter floss, chemical media (Purigen), or additional biomedia.
 
What do you guys think about zero carb filter inserts for aq 50?
 
Most of us with planted tanks don't use carbon as it removes trace elements needed by the plants from the water column.

If you're not concerned about that I think it's a quality product.
