Filter media for 4ft OHF

[ntsmokers]

Hi experts,

I would like to seek some advise regarding setting up of a 4feet OHF with 3 layers. I understand usually people uses at least 2 types of filter media. I have purchased some momotoro bacteria house. I would like to ask what other filter media is recommended? Its a 4 x 2 x 2 tank. I will be keeping about 6 discus, 4 angelfish and about 5 smaller size birchirs. Thanks in advance!

Biohome Plus

If budget allows, can go for biohome plus.
If not mr aqua CR is good.

Good to have a variety

My understanding is that biohome is more suited for enclosed environment ie canisters?

OHF would be mainly wet-dry with water trickling down the trays.

I am using mainly mr aqua CR, plus jap mat/black wool in my ohf....just overhauled mine today and switched to a new tom800

Yup heard biohome plus do best in fully submerged and dark environment.. If ohf u can use mototaro bacteia house n mr aqua Cr

momotaro dog shit consider best media for ohf liao... bh+ might not be ideal for ohf

i would use ANS mini and CC

ratio 4:1

with layer of japmat on top tier with wool on top.

How good is the ANS rings? Relative to mr aqua? Bought 2 packs lately to try out but can't say I can tell the difference.

Oh ya the momotaro is highly recommended for where they get the water splashing on them, so I heard.

Ans mini bac rings are quite small n easy to pack.
No different from Mr aqua.

Price about the same.
