Hi,
I'm about to set up a new planted tank (I've kept fish for years and dabbled in planted tanks in the past but it's time to go all-in). It's a 185l tank, and I'm looking at going for a Eheim Pro 3 Thermo filter, but I have a few questions if anyone knows the answers...
1. Size for a 185 litre - 250T or 350T?
2. Media supplied - Can anyone confirm what actually comes with it?
3. Do they supply enough media, or do the filters really need a bit extra?
4. Water flow - I'm confused. Diagrams seem to show the pre-filter stacked above a polishing pad, then the biological media which is stacked above mechanical media. How does the water flow through this? Don't you normally have biological media after mechanical? Or is it exiting the side of the pre-filter and coming back up through the stack?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
