How big is tank?
Good bio filter (lava rock,pot scrubbies , commercial media) in filter (canister filter,hob) . Sponge works as mechanical and bio media as well plus your substance and rock will help.

Suggesting you use canister filter for bio and HOB as mechanical filter.

3 Reds
1 mean little Rhom

All depends on size of tank and what type of filter... some medias work better in certain types of filters.
