This video shows how to set up an external canister filter but the same process applies for all filters. Filtration is a simple 2 stage process:
Mechanical
Biological
You can get into chemical filtration but if your filter is set up properly you only need mechanical and biological.
Forget about all the extra nonsense offered by so called expert companies as many of them just mask the fact that your filter isn't working properly and sucker you into thinking you need the extra products.
Set up your filter properly and you will have a super efficient long lasting unit which will cope with all ammonia, nitrite (and nitrate if you are using biohome media which supports anaerobic as well as aerobic bacteria) with ease, reducing the amount of water you need to change and creating a more stable environment.
