So I've got my Fluval 305 and I think its about time to replace the media as it has been running since August 2010.
I've got the stock ceramic rings in there. It has 3 trays, 2 have rings, 1 has carbon (i just realized I was supposed to change the carbon before).
So my 45 Gallon tank has that Fluval 305 and an Aquaclear 50 HOB.
I was told before I should setup the canister for BIO filtration and the HOB for mechanical.
I'm trying to determine how to do this and was thinking something like ceramic rings and matrix biomedia in the canister. What would I use in the HOB for "mechanical" filtration?
Any ideas? I'm having a hard time understanding the best way to do this....
