Hi all,
I'm currently having a bit of a pickle with my Eheim filters. I have a 2213 running on an ADA 45H and there is such little flow. The filter seems to be working OK from what I can tell. At the moment it's packed (bottom to top) with ceramic rings, a coarse sponge, a good 3-4 inches of Eheim Substrat Pro, followed by finally another sponge. This is what came from Eheim with the filter when I bought it. I now realise there is probably far too much packed in and I need to do-away with some! I do have a Hydor in-line heater hooked up, which I know will be decreasing flow, but I'm hopeful that sorting out my media will positively improve matters.
In preparation for having a play around to try to sort the issue this coming weekend, I was wondering what media others are using to fill the cannister of their Eheim 2213s, or similar? And in what order their media fills the cannister?
I also have a 2215 which I am about to set up on my 60p, and this came with only about 6 coarse blue sponges and nothing else. So I'm also wondering about how best to set this one up, in terms of media.
Any info will be much appreciated.
