Fluval Filters

[kevin310]

Hello,
I have a fluval 404 cannister filer and was wondering which media's would be best to use. I have a 90g saltwater tank. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.

I do it in this order... from top to bottom.. pre-filter media, carbon , and the bio.. things I dont know what they are called but they are little cylinders that hold benificial bacteria. thats how i do it and it has been working so far...

you dont wana use bio media..it becomes a problem in saltwater. heres what my 405 has in it
box#1= live rock rubble
#2=chemipure and carbon
#3= live rock rubble and chemipure
#4 renew and phospure.
u dont need what i have but regardless what u use dont use bio balls, strings, clay rings etc...they hold nitrates and cause spikes later on.

Of course, you always have the option of not using it all if you have an adequate ammount of live rock in the tank...just wanted to throw that one into the mix.
