I have a Rena XP4 cannister filter on my 47g column tank that is currently a fish only with live rock that I'm going to go to reef when the tank gets more mature and I get further into the hobby.
M y question is should I fill the baskets with live rock rubble in the cannister filter or use bio balls or both or ? other stuff. The cannister filter has 4 decent sized baskets for filter media. I currently have the first (top) filled with cut to size cloth-like material, the 2nd is filled with bio media that are small round stones (came with an ehiem cannister filter), the third is filled with bio balls, and the fourth is filled with black plastic sponge type filter media.
Any tips for adjusting my filter media to better suit my tanks needs?
I have plenty of room for media in this cannister lol.
