Tetratec Media Layout

[m00ms]

hi all,

i recently brought a leaking tetratec ex 600 through a friend of a friend which i have now fixed and just trying to work out the media layout and what im missing.

i have 3 trays,1 black lid/top,half a trays worth of white ceramic tubes,a full trays worth of black plastic balls and 2 coarse black filters.

i can see that im missing a fine filter but if anyone can please tell me the correct layout for me so i can work out what im going to use the filter on as i might add it to my community tank as additional filter or use it as an excuse to set up another small tank!!

many thanks.

My Tetratec Layout is Bottom tray : Ceramic tubes, Middle Tray : Black balls, Top Tray : Carbon and Black Sponges

Has freddie said above,then the fine filter goes on top of the top tray with the black plastic lid on top

Go careful with the spindle in the motor housing on cleaning it,they have a habit of snapping if you're not careful...

thanks for your help and thanks for the advice about the spindle being weak. is it right to have half a tray full of white tubes or do i need more??
