Ok, FX5 experts, my hoses are all set up in place and now am getting my trays ready. Andrew, who previously owned my FX5, had it set up like this:
Top tray: Filter sponge on outer ring with biomax bag in center
Middle tray: Filter sponge with two carbon bags in center
Bottom tray: same as middle tray.
What are your suggestions for either keeping it as is or modifying trays?
Also, since the FX5 has not been cycled in another tank prior to my current 120 set up, I was advised to squeeze some of my sponge filters from my other tanks onto the media. Other suggestions for seeding it with beneficial bacteria?
Thanks all!
