Depends on which Eheim Canister we're talking here.
Generally, I put 1-4L of Effimech, then a medium-grade sponge, then Bio-Media 2L-14L worth of Substrat, Substrat-Pro, or Bio-Bale. Then I top off with Chempure and Fine Filtration Pads.380G For Sale $3000 Acrylic tank & stand

I run 2 2217s on my 125. One contains the ceramic rings and the coarse sponge. The other has the rocks (substrat?) and a coarse sponge. I have prefilter sponges on both intakes.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

All of the aove...i use everything mentioned above (in multiple canisters).....
Personally, it seems to me, the tighter the canister is filled, the better filtration it provides.
CFTruth is the cement that holds the bricks and stones of a sane and civilized society together. Remove the former and the latter will crumble.Comment
