    Only chemical media placement is critical. The rest are not really critical.

    Using only cheap Japanese mat as bio medium, and blue mat and white foam as mechanical filter.
    The order of placement of medium does matter for me, as i remove the white foam from the top layer regularly, but the bottom layers of blue mat and japanese mat are not touched, except maybe once a year for rinsing. These japanese mat seems to last for a long time without breaking down.
    I find mats and sponge cheap and efficient and easy to maintain for stackables and overhead filters, where they are not soak in water, and get oxygen all the time.
    These mats can also accommodate very high rate of flow without being choked.

    Re: What is your Favourite Bio Filter Media

    From the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGP_qoIVmz8 you can see that it's incredibly porous!! The great thing about this media is that unlike a lot of other very porous medias out there, it claims that it won't clog up, so you not only don't need to change them, the efficiency of the media is maintained at near 100% all the time.

    Some info on the media http://cermedia.com/blog.php?p=60

    By the way has anyone seen them in LFS?

    skip the charcoal and replace with Purigen. Matrix with fine white filter will do fine.

    If you add any med or black water into fish tank, please remove as it will absorb it's coloration.

    This product seems promising, but have not heard about if before. Can anyone who is in the know share more about it?

    Re: What is your Favourite Bio Filter Media

    Marine Pure is actually quite popular in the marine fish hobby world. I've seen it at Iwarna (@pasir ris). They come in slabs, cubes or balls. This appears to be harder to pack into a canister filter. The shape seems more suitable for a sump....Probably the reason why it's less popular in the freshwater hobby.

    Re: What is your Favourite Bio Filter Media

    I find it very porous... I like the cube shape of the media which allow to lay neatly and filing the gaps above my UGF.. So I guess make all water to flow through the media.. Only been a week since my setup.. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1414115465.275320.jpg
