Hi,
New to the forum, first post. I have a new 55 set up. I originally went with 2 Emperor 400's, but they are way too loud for my liking. My new Eheim 2217 should arrive today or tomorrow. Couple questions...does all the media I will need come with the filter? Should I lubricate the O ring the first time or only later during the first cleaning? About how long to set it up completely from start to finish? I've had fish for most of my life, but first canister filter. I have 4 small African's in the tank now. Won't add any more until I change filters and let it run for a few days.
