I finally fired up the fluval 204 that I had gotten from a friend. No media and just water in the tank. Holy c***! I think I'm in love. I've only had experience with AC's but this fluval looks like it rocks. Last night it was a little noisy as air was being forced out but this morning it was near silent. And the output flow was no where near what I thought it would be ( I assumed a stronger current) I have an AC 50 waiting for my new tank and hadn't really considered the fluval until I saw it in action. On to my real point
What type of media do you fluval owners use? I know the pads go on one side (2 i think or is it 4) but it has 3 trays on the other side. I figured biomax for the top similar to my AC but what do I use for the bottom two? Fluval has that prefilter product that looks awfully similar to biomax. What are my other choices. I'm a little clueless in regards to cannisters so any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
