Well the tank is at 10 ppm and i have an xp3 on the way. so what would you use in the cannister filter as a media? i'm not sure how many different medias you can have in an xp3 but i would like to be ready when it shows up.


Thanks Again Greg

I believe XP3s have three media baskets. The filter should come with two different filter pads(two of each type, I think).
To that you can add ceramic stars and/or crushed coral for colonizing your future bacteria colony. I've even heard of people using their kids plastic army figures in the media baskets for this purpose. Anything that will allow a bunch of surfaces for the bacteria to cling to is good.
Don't use the carbon pad.
That should do it.
