IMHO....

1) Don't overfeed
2) Regular WC
3) Good media with right set ups for your ehiem 2224 filter

All the best!

Supposingly Biohome plus is the best but most expensive for canisters and I'm using that now. The placement of the wool is important too.....fine/medium/coarse in that order...IMHO.

Remove the sand brother, change water frequently, don't over stock and over feed.
