  • Eheim 2260 media layers??

    I'm setting up a 2260 I am looking for what you guys ran in these filters and what works best as far as water clarity, etc.I have a 2260 with efhimch noodles, green floss, and substrat pro, looking for different ideas on what to put on this 2260.

    Thanks

    Your setup is ok, for water clarity add 500ml of seachem purigen and an extra top layer of filter pads.

      All my 2260/62 only have substrat pro now. I don't run and type of floss in them.

      I have not notice a drop off in water clarity.

      Also, I would suggest as miggy has....use purigen.

        I got purigen on order. I also use chemipure on my tanks and it does a good job for me.

              About $200 worth of ehfisubstrat pro.

              Coarse sponge on top and bottom just to keep them in place.

                5.3 gallon bucket of seachems pond matrix for $100 looks like a deal to me

                    The 2262s I had came with them but I'm sure you could find the pond ones that are meant for the tetra pond filters
