Install EHEIM FIX or EHEIM MECH to a depth of approx. 3 – 5 cm as
the lowest filtration layer.
Fill the accompanying net bag with EHEIM SUBSTRAT or EHEIM
SUBSTRAT
pro
or EHEIM LAV, as the main mechanical-biological
filtration compound, and install in the filter canister. The net bag fa-
cilitates subsequent handling for cleaning operations.
Install approx. 3 cm EHEIM FIX as the top layer. Except when carrying
out short-term filtering after adding medication, please do not use
cotton wool, which soon becomes clogged with the high flow rate
through the filter.
Charcoal is only advisable for short-term use if it is necessary to
filter out unwanted substances when the filter is new or after the
addition of medication. It should be replaced by the specified filter
compound formation after a maximum of 3 weeks. Never re-use old
charcoal.
