Hi all, Im currently running dual emperor 280 filters in my new tank and am wondering what filter media I should be using in the empty media tray.

I have a 46 gallon freshwater community tank right now I have carbon zeolite blend in them.


Im wondering if this is the best option or is there better stuff I should be using or seprate stuff in each tray any suggestions would help
 
It kind of depends what kind of media your situation requires. On our planted tank, I run PhosGuard in the extra media tray to keep phosphates low. If you want to soften the water or keep the pH lower, you could easily put pelletized peat in the extra tray. Etc., etc., etc...
