Help on Ehiem 2213

[astro]

Hello frds, I found a 2213 inside my store room, however it's just an empty canister without any trays/baskets for media. Does 2213 comes with trays/basket? What type of media should I put in sequence?

Got a basket
From bottom
Eheim mech
Blue sponge
Eheim substrate
White sponge

Where Can we buy a replacement for the basket? Or it's not for sale individually?

You can don't put basket one.budget a bit but if u want basket Qian hu Singapore would be good.

You don't really need baskets. You can get filter bags from LFS to separate your media.

Astro and xconnect, would appreciate it if you could use proper spelling instead of using sms lingo. Check your reply before hitting the enter button. Your thread might disappear if this continues.

To simplify things, why not just fill the whole canister with ordinary ceramic rings and fit a sponge pre-filter at the inlet tube? Then you only need to clean the sponge occasionally, and leave the ceramic rings always untouched and loaded with all the goody bacteria.

Good idea, thanks Tetrakid

do note that prefilter will reduce the flowrate.
