filter media for fx5

[gypsy3]

hi all....can somebody tell me roughly how much filter media i would need for my fx5.am thinking of putting eheim substrat and ceramic noodles in 2 of the baskets, would i add anything to the other one?I was going to put some purigen in that basket - which basket would the purigen be most effective in?. also , in what order would the media go/...thanks

6L will be plenty for an fx5.
2L of efhimech and 4L of substrate pro.

put the mech in the bottom basket and the putigen/substrate pro in the top

other way around FX5's are the only cannister that flow top to bottom. Mech in top basket, then the bio towards the bottom.

this may be a silly question...but given that there are 3 media baskets, what goes in the 3rd one?

Thanks Taksan, forgot that the FX5 was backwards (just like the new big aqauaone advanced).

gypsy3 put more substrate pro in the bottom (ie fill both the bottom 2 with substrate pro)
