Also, consider using Purigen as chemical media.I have a 6x2x2 currently running an Eheim 2080 and a Classic 2217, after many attempts to mod the 2080 to mechanically perform i have decided that it is a totally rubbish filter for mech, my bio stats are impeccable however! ![]() I like the simplicity aspect of one big filter and less hardware in the tank.
