Eheim 2217 Filter Media Question

Hi Friends !

I just finished maintainance on my Eheim 2217. Actually the Instructional Manual says the filter media alignment as below-

1 Fine Eheim Filter Sponge (The White disc of filter medium) on Top and then 6 Coarse Eheim Filter Sponges (The Blue ones) from the bottom.

Now, as I had an extra Fine Filter Media, I placed 2 of them instead of the recommended 1. Just wanted to know if this is ok or can it harm my Filter ?

Please advice as I'm really worried...
Thanks !

Should be fine. What do you use for bio-media?

Ok then... Thank you so much for the kind reply...

I dont use anything as Bio-Media for now, because I was told that the Coarse Blue Pads themselves act as sites for bacterial development... Anyways I do plan to buy a Eheim Bio media soon and will add it to the filter when I do...

Thanks anyways....

I was just worried that the 2 pads could exert extra pressure on the Impeller / motor / pump and it may get harmed - any ideas regarding this ? Or is it safe to use 2 white ones ?

Friends, kindly advice...
