So just for me, I think any canister filter has plenty of bio-media, etc but the great thing is you can experiment.


The best way I do now is to make the cleaning as easy as possible. So instead of filter floss I picked up very fine foam and just rinse out under hose (it replaces filter floss that would just of been turfed each clean so any bacteria that survive is a bonus). (the filter wool sections are expensive to buy here).
