I will try to walk you through my way of how I think you should setup your aquarium filters.
Aquarium filtrations never comes with all that you need in my opinion. 
Because they want you to come back and buy more of their stuff every now and then. 
Start saving money and get the maximum amount out of what you already got. This is the best way I think you should setup your freshwater Aquarium filters.
Hang on back filters, Inner filters, Juwel filters, Eheim, Fluval it does not matter. 
They could all do better and they could all be optimized and you will get everything from 100-500 % more biological filtration on your aquariums for a small amount of extra money.

Tribute to one or actually 2 early video that Cory aka Coby aka Mr Mcelroy did a long time ago. I will not hashtag him or anything, because I will not try to "ride" on his channel. I just want to talk about the same thing but more exactly what I do personally with my filters. 
We do not always agree, but those 2 videos that he did could still be 2 of the best videos explaining  filters online.

This was the first take, so this will correct my mistakes or things that 
I wanted to say but forgot... 
Time Stamps!
EDIT: 
03:00 Every time I say cotton I mean Filter Floss. 
03:50 (FX6) If you just turn the nozzles down, 
it puts the same amount of extra pressure on the Impeller, as if putting in what they consider 
"too much" bio rings/ceramic media to make the flow go down.
So why not get more out of your filter an keep the nozzles fully opened, and get 100-500% more bio 
media for your aquarium and get the flow down that way instead?
06:03 I say you can fit in 3, but it is actually 5 more pounds, of course depending on which ceramic you choose. 
07:25 I can fit 4 pounds in 2 of the 3 middle chambers for GoldFish. And You only get 1 with the filter.
08:16 Clarifying: I am talking about 250 liters with 6 Fancy Goldfish bare bottom, not gallons. 
Keeping the Fx6 as it comes would flush them around like in a toilet.
09:20 My first Fx6 is 5 years old, but my oldest one I bought used. And it is 8 years old. 
The first Fx6 model, So my method will not break down your Fx6.
10:13 1 pound to my 4 pounds = 4 times the bio media.
10:39 I Forgot to say this. If they send you more ceramic, the shipping that is already
very expensive because of the size of an canister filter. Would become crazy
expensive for them, because of the weight of including so much ceramic with the filter.
It would doubble the shipping rate for them to get them out to you from both factorys
and from online stores. 
11:13 A streamer is adding more money to your aquarium. But it is still a lot cheaper to both
buy and run, compared to add another cannister. If your flow is not enough for your african
cichlids, buy a streamer. 
12:20 Yes, I run a crazy amount of filters, but keep in mind. I go away 5-8 days straight every
week. So I need to trust my autofeeders to keep everybody happy. So I over use because I over feed, I can not be home and observe them.
23:00 I talk about Eheim 3 series. They do not include filter media, and they are generally very weak.
They destroyed their own rep with those overprized 3 series. 
But my Eheim 4+ is actually very good.
30:00 Juwel Aquarium Filters.

I can keep going and correct myself every minute, but these things bothered me the most. 

Here is a link to Corys Video, if you watch this one first, mine will make a lot more sense:
