SunSun Cannister

[ericwithac]

So Im pretty set on this Amazon.com : SunSun Hw302 264GPH Pro Canister Filter Kit : Pet Supplies

I was planning on adding the filter pack and was curious if i should also add the Seachem Purigen 100ml...

Thanks!

thats a great deal! i would jump on that if it was in canada!

Ya the purigen is a bit overkill but u can still buy it if you want that extraclear water

Okay sweet, and I was recommend to get corse finger sponges, fine filter floss, and bio media...can anyone help me find where to buy these and tell me if its really what I should get? I assume you just place these in the sunsun or is there a special place inside the canister they need to go?

[ywagner]

Even though I don't personally have a sun sun is do the filter floss first, the sponges next, and then bio media and then water polisher/carbon or whatever stuff u want to add after

for a bio filter the plastic potscrubbers from walmart work great.

What do you mean by first second and third. Im just confused. How do these go into the cannister? Don't they all go in at once?

[ericwithac]

The SunSun canister that you linked to is a 3-stage canister filter. This means that it has 3 trays. You can put your stuff in different trays.

Are there better options? Sorry, just getting used to all this filter media stuff!

[dcutl002]

I would just buy the SunSun premade sponge. Don;t get me wrong, I do a lot of DIY stuff, but filter media is something I just buy. Those sponges will last a long time, Just wash them in tank water when cleaning the filter. You can see the cleaning process on YouTube.
