    I had just bought a 2nd hand Canister filter. Atman CF1200.
    There are 3 trays inside. I wonder what are the filter media to put in each respective tray.

    I am think of putting the following;

    1. Bottom Tray: Ceramic ring or Bioball
    2. Middle Tray: Bio-mat
    3. Top Tray: Normal white wool

    Any advice from you guys???

    Looks good, but I would give bioballs a miss. They are too space inefficient to be used in a canister filter.

    Cheers

    Agreed. Bioballs are usuallly better used in larger sump tank setups.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Use biohome if budget allows.
