I'm wanting to make sure I get the utmost filtration from the internal Juwel filter in my Rio 125 tank.
At the moment the upper and lower filter baskets are populated as per Juwel's instructions;
White Poly
Carbon
Nitrax Green
Coarse Blue
----
Cirax
Fine Blue

I was thinking of removing the carbon sponge in the upper basket and putting a Cirax at the bottom of it, but is Cirax the best choice?
White Poly
Nitrax Green
Coarse Blue
<Add Cirax here>?

I know Cirax provides a large surface area for bacteria to grow, but given the upper basket is a higher flow area, is it a good choice or would I be better off with a coarse or fine sponge?
Thanks in advance for all advice!
