Default Filter media in OHF

I'm using those 4 layer tray mount on top of my 6ft tank.
What is the best filter media for the 4 tray to keep the water as healthy as possible.

I'm keeping side view ranchu and I need to do 50% wc every week.

Any advice from u guys?

This is my current setup

I would suggest that for the top stack, you may want to use white sponge for mechanical filtering. In my goldfish tank, it traps so much poop I replace them very frequently.

Hi TS, I think there are many threads on suggestions for OHF setups....including this one. Just do a search for them. Hope it helps.
