Hello,
We are starting to put together a 90 gal tank that we plan to eventually stock as a Discus/community/live planted tank.
We have the tank and filters and we are waiting for the cabinet/stand to be ready (another 4 weeks?).
I have two Penn Plax Cascade 1200 canister filters we plan to use with tank. In fact the tank is currently on the floor of our detached garage and I'm just starting to do a fish-less cycle on the filters.
I am looking for recommendations on filter media configuration for the two canister filters. The Cascade 1200 filters have 4 media trays. I assume the first stage in tray 1 would be sponge and floss, then more floss in tray 2?. Biologic (bio balls and then ceramic rings) in trays 3 and 4?
Thanks for any advice.
Doug
